Getting Pre-Approved for a Mortgage Loan

Here are some tips and information to help you prepare to meet with a Mortgage professional and establish a relationship for determining what you can afford and what your goals will be. I have a number of references for mortgage consultation and I recommend that you speak with several professionals to determine who you feel comfortable with and want to work with. 1. What will a lender look at when I apply for a mortgage? Lenders consider many factors in evaluating your loan application, but they usually focus on four areas:

  • Income and debt. How much money you make and what other bills you have to pay helps the lender determine whether you can afford to make mortgage payments.
  • Assets. The lender needs to make sure you have enough money to cover the costs of buying a home.
  • Credit. Whether you’ve met other financial obligations helps the lender predict whether you will repay your mortgage.
  • Property. The home you want to buy has to be worth enough to act as collateral for the mortgage.

I specialize in helping First Time Home Buyers through the buying process.

Don't forget having an acceptable credit score.  Without that, the rest doesn't matter.
