Getting a Pre-Approval Letter for a mortgage can make you the top candidate for your dream property.
A pre-approval is when a bank or lender has thoroughly checked your credit history and determined that they are willing to give you a mortgage. Here’s what you should prepare when starting your Pre-Approval:
Income information:
Paystubs, tax returns, and W-2s from the previous two years, as well as documents that show additional sources of income.
Asset information:
Bank account statements as well as information about investments you’ve made.
Personal information:
Driver’s license or passport. You will need to provide your Social Security number for a credit check.
The Pre-Approval will let you know exactly how much of a mortgage you qualify for. If you are shopping in a competitive market, having a pre-approval letter will make you a more attractive buyer than those who do not have one. Perhaps the biggest positive to obtaining a pre-approval is the fact that once you find the property you really want, you’ll be able to proceed with the process quickly because you’ve already got financing ready to go.
