Getting Pre-Qualified for a Mortgage

September 29, 2010 By Rowland Leave a Comment

If you are like most, you know that it would be beneficial to just have money handed over your way. You work hard at what you do and are financially stable. You know that it is time for you to move into a new place and want to make sure that you have the best opportunities available for you. The first investigation to make in order to step forward is through a loan pre-qualification.

Loan pre-qualifications will determine if you have the financial ability to invest in real estate in the beginning. By having the right pre-qualification, you can be guaranteed a specific amount of money and will have the ability to move into the home of your dreams.

The first thing that is determined with loan pre-qualification is how much you make each year from your job. By finding this, it will allow for lenders to know how much you will be able to put into a loan in relation to other expenses that you may have. Things such as personal debt and car loans, as well as credit card expenses will be calculated in this figure to show the first step to finding the right loan.

After these specific points have been added up, the time frame in which you will pay your loans will be factored in. This will give the companies an idea of how much you can pay and how this will relate to the debt and finances that you have coming in and out of your pocket. This will be defined by using formulas that will relate how much money you are making in relation to how much you can pay to balance out your loan. Usually, pre-qualification formulas will divide things by factoring in ratios for standards of living.

If you want to make sure that you have the right loan, then becoming pre-qualified is the first step that you will need to take. This will enable you to move forward with what you want and need for your loan. By knowing what to expect, you can prepare for the process of getting a loan and can move into the property that you want.
