If a loan approved to purchase a house when both are not working?

We have a house which worths around $300,000.  Our loan balance for the house is $54,000.  Both of us are not working right now, but we're thinking to rent this one out and purchase another house with prices between $300,000-380,000.  Is this option possible?  Is so, what do we have to do?

Thanks in advance for your time,
Little lulu

You will need to prove that you can make the mortgage payment on the new house If you want an A-Paper loan with the best rates.  You may be abe to use passive income (retirement income, distributions from investments) if you have a history of recieving these and they are likely to continue. You did not say what income you are living on.

Since you have at least a 25% equity position in the existing home (that you are converting to a rental), you will be able to use rental income to offset that mortgage payment. 

Most private money (hard money) programs require a 50% down payment, and they will want to verify your source of income to make sure you will not default on the loan.

You will need to find a lender who is willing to do 100% financing.. not easy in this market... you may need to go private money.. Good luck...
