CAN YOU GET A MORTGAGE WITH A CONTRACT JOB?

Posted on: 23rd Oct, 2010 08:48 am
MY SON-IN-LAW WORKS CONTRACT WORK SINCE THE AUTO INDUSTRY'S PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE NEVER OWNED A HOME BUT PAY HIGH RENT. WITH HOME PRICES AND THE INTEREST RATE THEY COULD GET A HOUSE AND NOT BE PAYING ANY MORE OR POSSIBLE LESS. HE MAY WORK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS AND THEN HAVE SOME DOWN TIME WAITING FOR ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT. THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE PAYING THEIR BILLS. IF THEY DID MY HUSBAND AND I ARE WILLING TO HELP. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A MORTGAGE IN THIS SITUATION?

Feel free to ask any further query if you have....

Legally some problem may occur due to robust process but if you can say he has his own business then that might help.......
