If you decide to do this, make sure to consider carefully what you think a fair rate of pay would be. IIRC, you’ve said you’ve been doing some computer stuff. If he wants more of that, you might consider adjusting your rate accordingly. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jarbabyj \* > \*\ ***Update:** We called our realtor, who in turn called our lawyer who told us that as long as I am legitimately employed on June 5th, there’s no problem. The approval and underwriting for the mortgage have already been done, and he said, unlike commercial loans, they aren’t always checking up on your employment. > > I’m so relieved, and now I can start making plans for my future career 😃 \*\* Good deal Jar! Please give us an update again once the deal is closed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ive-been-let-go-am-i-going-to-lose-my-mortgage/176396.md?page=2)
