Few buyers realize this, but did you know there's a difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved? Understanding this distinction can make a difference in whether you get the home you want or not, in some cases.
What is mortgage pre-qualification?
You are pre-qualified for a mortgage when you get a letter from a lender saying that you are qualified to take out a mortgage loan. This is helpful, but is less meaningful than a pre-approval, because the lender is simply saying that, on paper, you are qualified. It is not verified, and you have not filled out all of the necessary forms at that point to know whether you are approved.
What is a mortgage pre-approval?
You are pre-approved when you have actually applied for a mortgage, received your credit report, filled out your application, etc. Employment and income have been verified, making a seller more confident in your ability to close on the home. This is the ideal situation.
If you want the smoothest possible home-buying experience, I recommend that you spend some time getting pre-approved, rather than just pre-qualified. Please give me a call if you'd like more help on this subject. |

Don't make major credit purchases before setting out to buy a home!
It's important not to make any major credit purchases if you are planning on buying a home soon. Why? It has a direct affect on how much home you can afford, that's why.
Most buyers are not aware of the impact of consumer credit purchases on home buying power, but here is the hard reality. Any new monthly payments you incur through credit purchases will decrease the size of loan you qualify for by a ratio of about 100:1.
Let's say you have a new car payment of $350/mo. The amount of money you are qualified to borrow from most lenders will be about $35,000 less (100 x $350) than what you might have been able to borrow without that car loan. The same goes for consumer spending like credit cards, department store cards, etc.
In general, it's always best to pay cash for items you need. Work to keep your monthly credit payments low, and you'll be rewarded in the long term. |
