I'll get terminated by the current employer shortly after the closing date. Should I inform the lender now before closing?

If you don’t want to close as a result I’d tell them now. If you still want to close I wouldn’t tell them at all.

It depends on your situation. Is where you live now going to hinder your job prospects? Something similar happened to me and I wish I would have kept my mouth shut. I desperately needed out of Wyoming, and it without a doubt set my career back a couple of years.

You certify that everything in the mortgage application is true and complete, including your employment. I guess technically it is true that you’ll have the job through the close date, but to me that’s too risky. It would definitely be mortgage fraud if you lost your job prior to close. If you knew you were going to be losing it shortly after closing and didn’t disclose… I wouldn’t be comfortable not disclosing this in the event that they find out

Please tell me you have plenty of reserves!!

I know I'm taking a risk but hope that I can find a job in the next 6 months with the help of the severance. The complication is I don't know if I can get my 70K deposit back and need to keep my kid in the same school.

Id be silent

If you have years of reserves and you want the house, I wouldn’t say anything.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
