The benefits of a preapproval (not prequalification) for Blue Springs Mortgage Loans

 

A lot of consumers are not educated enough on how they should go about buying a home.

 

No question, this is a big decision, and one that can be either immensely stressful- or immensely enjoyable- depending on how you go about the home buying process of  Blue Springs Mortgage Loans and the surrounding areas. You must take the steps necessary to educate yourself on your buying power, take some time to think about your lifestyle choices, and the initial investment. We will discuss each of these in this article. 

 

Education 

 

There are many steps to buying a home in Prosper, TX, this is one and it begins with getting pre-approved for your home loan. Take note that we didn't say anything about getting pre-qualified because in today's mortgage industry it is meaningless. You should choose a mortgage lender that offers you no cost home buyer counseling and pre-approvals. The process can be lengthy, but you must include two years of tax returns, one month of paystubs, two months of all your liquid asset account statements which include 401K's, IRA's, Checking, Savings, and stocks to give your mortgage banker authorization to pull your credit report. It is important to note you will need to provide all pages of the bank statements, and will need to explain (source- as in prove up where money for deposits came from that went into your liquid asset accounts). The purpose of your mortgage banker analyzing this data is to establish the following:  1. How much home you can afford. 2. The type of loan structure and initial investment that best fits your needs and 3. What type of house payment you feel comfortable paying for and qualify for. 

 

 

 

Initial Investment 

 

 

Numerous types of loan programs are available in the mortgage industry that range from Conventional loans with 5% down payment options to FHA loans with a 3.5% down payment as well as 100% financing on VA and USDA loans. You should have your mortgage lender calculate the remaining part of your initial investment, your taxes and insurance, what your closing costs are and whether or not there are any seller or lender contributions. This is one reason why you should consult with an experienced mortgage professional that can help you decide what the best loan program is for that fits your needs. 

 

 

You will know what price range you should start looking in with comfort after you get pre-approved and you have your mortgage counseling session. This will give you a "head start" on your  Blue Springs Mortgage Loans and the surrounding area that gives you the "buying power of a cash buyer". Have your mortgage lender send a pre-approval letter that matches up with the offer you just submitted so that the seller knows to get you pre-approved for inspections, an appraisal, and for title work to come back clean. You will also have much less stress- as you will not be wondering if you can qualify or if something shows up on your credit report that may cause a delay or for you to be turned down. 

 

 

Lifestyle Choices 

 

 

 

It is important for you to not underestimate the budget of your entire house payment and all other monthly obligations. You have numerous options. If your income is projected to increase, you may want to buy at the upper end of the range that you qualify for in terms of your home purchase since you know more discretionary income is on the way. If you know that your income is going to be flat, you will be choosing the level of discretionary income you would want to use to reserve it for new cars, traveling, eating out,money for furnishing and updating your home, etc. To enhance your lifestyle upon purchasing your home, you need to consider what the final purchase you are comfortable with is.
