Would a bank approve a loan for this circumstance?
If i were to move to another state and try to purchase a duplex that i would use as a primary residence, would a bank approve even if i only have the down payment and 6 months cash reserves? No job in place yet.
Try checking with a bank/lender. Getting preapproved is step 1
Although you have down payment and reserves conventional lenders will need to see the ability to repay the loan. Most times we can move forward with a preapproval letter if you have at least a job offer letter and will have one set of paystubs before closing date. Will you be finding a job in the same line of work? Feel free to reach out directly if you have specific questions.
I'd agree with @Lorenzo Prieto here. If you can get an offer letter showing how much you will be making once you move that is usually enough to get you moving forward, but to only have a down payment I don't know of any conventional lenders that would be able to get a loan approved that way.

Hi Shivani! I have househacked without having a job before and got my loan to go through underwriting just fine. Happy to connect and share what worked for me

This was super helpful! I will actually be able to stay in the same line of work and definitely would because it helps with approval.

I would love to connect and learn more!
If you could possibly show a offer letter or something then I would think so.
