Welcome to ActiveRain. I agree with your post. Knowing how much a buyer can spend up front can help alleviate problems later on!

Good advice Nader, I just had a two week discussion with a veteran agent who insisted that these were the same thing.  It took a lot of articles forwarded to her to convince her of the difference.

Thanks, Bob. Sometimes it takes experiencing the difference between the two first-hand like I did.

I always wonder why the buyers do this -

"Most people begin the home-buying process with weeks or a few months of online searches and going to open houses before speaking to a lender or a real estate agent."
