However, how tough is it to
get approved on a mortgage that's just below a Jumbo amount when one
of us hasn't secured a job at the new location?



whoops, did you mention JUMBO?
careful, you'll be accused of being a rich snob!


Sorry - didn't mean to come off that way. We're only putting 5% down,
and the current real estate market has many of the homes near that
price range.

Any ideas?

Thanks...
