Would frequent travel for remote work make it difficult to finance a home as a primary residence?

Frequent travel on its own generally isn't a financing problem. Lenders don't ask how often you travel, and underwriting doesn't scrutinize your travel pattern. What they care about is that the home makes sense as your primary residence given your work. If your employer is in a different but nearby city (a Dallas buyer with a Fort Worth employer, say), that reads as a normal commute and raises no questions. When the job is farther away or fully remote, the lender may ask about the work arrangement through the verification of employment, where your employer confirms why you can reasonably live where you're buying. As long as you're genuinely based at the home between trips, the travel itself doesn't get dug into further. What you should be ready to document is the coherence of the arrangement. For remote work, a letter or verification stating you work remotely and can be based anywhere usually resolves it. If your situation is unusual, mention it to your loan officer early so the verification of employment is worded to head off questions before underwriting ever raises them.
