<prompt> Human: So Im closing on my first house in the next three weeks all of my other paperwork has gone through alright so far. The problem is my current workplace is about 3 hours away from my new house so I dont really want to deal with that commute if possible. I already have a new job lined up more pay, closer to my new house and my start day is a few days after I close on my house. Am I cutting it to close? My loan states I must be in my current position for at least 30 days before I can close, so thats why I didnt switch jobs beforehand.  <response>: Do not give notice until after you have closed. There are many reasons closing could be delayed or even cancelled. Ideally you would not start your new job until 2 weeks after closing, during which you continue to work at the old job and maybe live out of a hotel, Air BB, or your current apartment near the old job. If its not possible to move back your start date at the new job, I think I would rather give shorter than 2 weeks notice than give notice before closing on my house.
