I'm 99% decided on accepting a position at a regional once my separation is finalized. Will be moving to Ft. Worth to be in base, looking at buying a house there. Does anyone have experience with applying for a mortgage pre-approval as they separated, and whether it's Kosher to use military income for that? I intend to buy a house in the price range I can afford even on 1st-2nd year FO salary, but I imagine the odd nature of that pay structure and not having a pay stub yet would complicate things with a lender.

Thanks for any input!
