The Financial Corner April '18
Happy Spring everyone!! This is the fourth installment of twelve monthly blogs on financial information useful to buying or selling a home. This month’s Financial Corner topic is “Getting Pre-Qualified versus Getting Pre-Approved for a Mortgage”. Hope it provides you with useful information.
Pre-qualification versus Pre-approval
Often buyers mistake pre-qualification for a home loan with pre-approval for a home loan. There’s a difference between these two terms. Pre-qualification. Getting prequalified is the initial step in the mortgage process and it’s pretty simple. You provide your lender with your overall financial picture, sometimes verbally, including your debt, income and assets. The lender will then provide you with an approximate amount of mortgage for which you qualify. It doesn’t include an analysis of your credit report or an in-depth picture of your ability to purchase a home. The mortgage lender can provide you various mortgage options and recommend what is best for your situation. Because it’s based on only information you provide to the lender it’s not a sure thing, it’s what you might
expect to be approved for.
Pre-approval. Getting pre approved is much more involved. You will complete an official mortgage application and may pay an application fee. You will then provide the lender with documentation to perform an extensive financial background check including pulling a credit report. You will also know what interest rate you will be charged on the loan. With pre approval, you will receive a conditional commitment, in writing, for a specific amount which gives you an advantage when dealing with a potential seller. It allows you to move quickly when you find a home to purchase. When you make an offer, it won’t be contingent on financing which is a plus in a competitive market.
So, should you skip pre qualification and go right to pre approval? If you are serious about buying a home, you won’t waste time going right to pre approval and you will know for sure what you can or can’t buy.

Helen Truong is my name from 1731 Hilltop Haven Drive, Red Bank, NJ 07701 USA. It lifts my heart to actually use this medium to save innocent people who would have fallen into the wrong hands in quest to obtain an online loan. With all humility I want to personally warn all online loan seekers to be very careful while trying to get a loan, because it is no news that scammers are rampant everywhere all over the internet claiming to offer loan. I was a victim before now and I solemnly hope that you are a victor if you care to take my word of advise. Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. All hope was nearly lost until a co-employee suggested 'JOSH LOANS FINANCIAL SERVICE' an online reliable and trustworthy lender for me, as I was almost at the edge of taking my life considering a loss of about $83,000; As God would have it, I applied for a loan from 'Josh Loans Financial Service' under Cynthia's (co-employee) recommendation and WOW in less than 72 working hours I got a credit alert confirming that my account has been credited with the loan fund of $220,000.00 which i originally requested. If after loosing much God has shown me light with the help of 'JOSH LOANS FINANCIAL SERVICE', you too without doubt can as well obtain a loan from this reputable lending institution. IN ALL, if you, your relation or any closed person desperately need a loan, DO CONTACT or help that soul to communicate with JOSH LOANS FINANCIAL SERVICE via email on joshloancompany@gmail.com OR text/call them on +1(215)-874-8060
