Ask you real estate agent for recommendations on some qualified, experienced local lenders/loan officers. A knowledgeable mortgage professional will be able to analyze and assess your financial status, and help determine the best loan product for your particular situation/budget.

I have had two clients recently who qualify for VA loans and don't know much about them.  I checked out the rest of the post on your other blog - very useful and certainly appropriate for me right now.  Thanks.

Rich, it's also probably a good idea to make sure the lender who preapproves you uses local appraisers and has underwriters on the premises.  We're having lots of problems with some of the big banks who've provided great service until recently.

"A knowledgeable mortgage professional will be able to analyze and assess your financial status"...

AMEN! I've found it difficult lately, to find quality mortgage professionals. I only have one guy left that I have used in the past, whom I fully trust to do a good job.  =/
