mortgage rates: Pre-Qualified Vs. Pre-Approved What's The Difference
- 08/18/15 07:29 AM
What is Pre-Qualified Getting pre-qualified is the initial step in the mortgage process, and it's generally fairly simple. You supply a bank or lender with your overall financial picture, including your debt, income and assets. After evaluating this information, a lender can give you an idea of the mortgage amount for which you qualify. Pre-qualification can be done over the phone or on my user friendly website and there is no cost involved. Loan pre-qualification does not include an analysis of your credit or an in-depth look at your ability to purchase a home.
The initial pre-qualification step allows you to discuss any goals or needs (2 comments)
