prequalification for a loan: What do you mean, you need a letter from my Lender?
- 03/12/12 12:02 AM
Pre-Qualification AND Pre-Approval - in other words buyers have contacted a lender to see what they can afford. In my estimatation, there are too many buyers that are out 'shopping' with no means to 'purchase'. Getting a loan is totally different than it was a few years ago, where if you had a heart beat and fogged a mirror, you were considered a great buyer! The real estate industry & it's sister mortgage industry have changed & it is even more important that you speak to a loan officer about what you can afford. Just makes sense doesn't it?
