Buying a home during COVID-19.

What are your thoughts?

Is it too risky?

My husband recently got a new job. Before this job he had worked at a Pepsi factory for 3 months. Before working at Pepsi he was in the military for 4 years.

His recent new job, he trained in the office the 1st week. The 2nd week he trained from home. At the end of his second week he got furloughed.

He was able to apply for unemployment, so we’re in the process of figuring that out.

We moved back to our home state after he got out of the military, so we’re currently living with his parents. Our original plan was to hopefully be moved out by the end of April/beginning of May. By the looks of it, its not happening anytime too.

My husband said we can apply for any kind of home loan since he “doesn’t” have a job, but he technically does because once COVID-19 is over he can resume back to work in the office.

I feel like once we get his unemployment stuff figured out I wanna try to apply for a home loan.

Does he really not have a job? Is this a bad idea? Any advice would be great.
