Without sharing all the details about why I want to quit working, I will just say this. I am able to make money by doing eBay and it gives me the flexibility to work on my own time and my own terms.
I've been at my job for over a year now and my wife just started her job like a couple months ago. I'm not too worried about the instability because we have money saved up and I could always just go find another job. Either in my field or outside of my field.
I know that lenders look at employment, but do you think we could still easily get approved for a mortgage even if I don't have a job and my wife has only been at her job for a couple months. We've been consistently paying rent for years. Never late. Our credit scores are around 700. We have a good amount set aside for a down payment.
I still want to work. I just don't want to work FOR SOMEONE ELSE! I'll just be making my money on my own without having a boss telling me when and where. It won't exactly be consistent, but I think I can manage.
Could we get a mortgage?
