<prompt> Human: Not sure if rip-off is the right term but maybe whats the best way to get the best interest rates? Ok, so I am making 50k a year and I hate my job. I want to quit and find another job and I know I can. But I am also planning to buy a home this year before October. What do the loan officers look at when I try to get a mortgage? Last years W2? Will they know I just quit my job? I cant take my job anymore, its killing me, Im about to throw in my resignation letter, so waiting a few months after I get the mortgage is not an option.  <response>: Will they know I just quit my job?Someone from the lending institution is going to call your alleged employer within days of closing to verify that you still work there.
