I was pre-approved a few months ago for a mortgage in TX (FHA). My friend a RN currently residing and working in Illinois. I have been hired to work at a hospital in Houston and I plan to move there once I have secured a home. Therein lies the problem. My friend's lender has just informed me that the underwriter will not fund the loan until I have worked for 30 days. This is impossible as I cannot commute from Illinois to Texas for 30 days! For three months I thought everything was in order, so I recently accepted a job in Houston. When I decided to go ahead with the house hunt, that's when I received the news.
