I'm semi retired starting social security early this year. I've been driving school bus for 5 years in NY.
I'm trying to get pre approved for a VA mortgage but apparently I need a employment letter of intent to get pre approved since I'm changing states??
I'm also trying to find a house under $250000 for a single person with a dog within 50 miles of the city.

Do you have other income (pension, dividends, annuity, etc) that they can verify?

What other attributes are you looking for in this home? Acreage, garage, number of rooms, etc. Do you need to be near medical facilities, or shopping? I drew a vague circle about 40 mile radius from Knoxville on a real estate map and came up with over 200 homes/condos/manufactured homes for sale under $250K. Try a real estate website like Homes.com or Zillow.com to see photos and specs of homes. You can draw your own boundaries for the area and see everything for sale that meets your criteria. Like this:

https://www.homes.com/homes-for-sale...hjm2xI1-1_2jhV

Many bus driver jobs available, even shuttle buses for theme paks and shopping areas. Look on Indeed.com for jobs in any area. Like this: https://www.indeed.com/q-bus-driver-...1bf71a00f45030

You're welcome.

Depends on where you are looking in East TN. You can find a home for that amount, but the values have skyrocketed in the last 3-4 years.
