Sound like you'd be better off to get a much cheaper house that you can easily pay off instead of a house you can barely afford with built-in expectation of losing your job and lower minum payments stretched out to 50 years and then forced to sell it anyway because you couldn't find the next job in time
I've been looking at houses with land that are under 200k, some under 150k, and they're not ratholes either. Essentially houses I can afford on my current salary, meaning that if I get the job I'm gunning for, I'll be able to easily afford the payments and still stock money away or invest it.
