Home Buying Tips: How long do I have to work before buying a home?

Kirk Mulhearn: Real Estate Brokerage in Long Beach, CA

Long Beach, Ca. Many home buyers are concerned about how long they have to be on their job before they purchase a home. Generally speaking, it is required that you work for at least two years in the save line of work. That does not mean, two years at the same job, just two years in the same line of work.

Of course, every rule has exceptions. For example, if you just finished technical school or graduated with a professional degree, the time that you invested in your career counts as job time.

For example, if you were to graduate from the Police Academy, all the months that you spent becoming a cop would apply toward your two year work history. Likewise, if you graduated from College with a professional degree like law, architecture, dentistry or accounting you would also normally qualify to purchase a property assuming that you have immediately been hired after graduation.

If you are on a salary, the actual gross salary per year that you are making will be utilized to caluculate your qualifications. However; if you are on an hourly wage, the average of the last two years will be used to calculate your earnings. For example, if you made $40,000.00 in hourly and bonus income in 2007 and $45,000 in 2008, the banks would only give you credit fro $42,500.00(a running two year average).
