Getting Pre-Qualified: The Process And Guidelines

Screen Shot 2015-10-23 at 10.26.22 AMThere are several benefits to getting pre-qualified and it can be a valuable first step towards purchasing your home. Many home buyers choose to get qualified early. Here are some reasons why you should get pre-qulified.

Learn How Much You Can Barrow

When shopping for your future home it is important to know the total living cost you are able to spend on your new home purchase. You can also make things a lot easier for yourself by saving a lot of time and money. It would be a wise decision to get pre-approved in order to determine your financial qualifications for a loan before you even start your search.

The Qualification Process

Your lender will ask for your annual income, total amount of debt, monthly payments, current employment and any negative financial incidents that may affect your chances of getting a loan. There are generally no fees so it’s an easy choice to make.

You will be asked to fill out a mortgage application which your lender will use to verify your information and run your credit. Upon receiving qualification there is usually a letter presented to you which will be a written commitment of your approval.

A pre-approval can be helpful for all homebuyers, but more so for first-time homebuyers. It will be difficult to compete with other buyers who have already taken the initiative to take this significant first step.
