Understanding Pre-Approval
What is Pre-Approval?
Pre-approval is a crucial first step in the home-buying process, where a lender evaluates your financial situation to determine how much they are willing to lend you. This process involves a review of your income, credit history, and debt-to-income ratio. Receiving pre-approval not only helps you understand your budget but also strengthens your position when making an offer on a property.
