Getting Prequalified for a Home Mortgage
Getting Prequalified for a Mortgage is the one step you should not skip over.
When you get pre-qualified for a home loan, you get a general idea of how much you can borrow for your home mortgage and the amount of your monthly mortgage payments.
If you don't know how much you can afford, or how much your payments will be, how can you search for a home?
We tried to gather plenty of information for this section, since it is so important.
Buying too much of house, or too small of a house could cost you much more in the long run.
Making sure you work with the correct lender is also extremely important. My suggestion; try a large lender, but not too large!
