Do You Qualify For A Home Loan
Pre-Approval Letter
Loan Pre-approval is a little more
involved than a simple Pre-qualification. A Pre-Approval is
generated from your mortgage company and usually requires a review
of your credit report, pay stubs, assets, liabilities and so fourth.
A complete loan application is also usually taken. The Pre-Approval
also provides valuable information to the Real Estate Agent as to
the amount of home a buyer can afford and any other conditions that
may be applicable.
To receive a Home Loan Pre-Approval Letter, simple complete the online form
and an associate will contact you within 24 hours.
You should consider:
The down payment
This is the amount of money you have available to put a down payment
on the house you want to purchase. Depending on your credit history,
you may qualify for a loan program that requires 0% down.
Don't forget to budget for closing costs
There are other costs beside your down payment associated with
purchasing a home. First time homebuyers have to take into
consideration closing costs. Some additional fees associated with
closing costs are points, lender's fees, title charges, escrows for
your property taxes and home owners insurance. Many loan programs
allow the seller to pay up to 6% of the sales price for your closing
costs.
What monthly payment is comfortable for you
Just because you qualify for a certain loan amount doesn't mean you
are required to use the maximum financing available to you. Along
with the mortgage payment, property taxes, homeowner insurance and
all of your monthly liabilities don't forget to budget for thing you
like to do. Vacations, entertainment, future college tuition etc.
also cost money and you do not want to deprive yourself. You do not
want overextend your budget and work solely to make your mortgage
payment.
