I live on one coast of Florida, (with my mother-in-law) where my wife and I both have steady, reliable work histories. We are looking at property on the opposite coast so that we can relcate to be closer to my family. I am being told by agents that we need to be employed within the county I am looking to buy or I will not be able to qualify in that county. As long as I am able to afford the house and payments, can I be turned down because I am not currently employed there? (If we rent while we search for employment, we will lose $ on first, last and security, that we intend to use as our down payment. Our plan was to buy, search for employement, then move). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
