Improve Your Homebuying Odds: Get Pre-Approved If your resolution is to get into a new home this year, it's important to understand the mortgage pre-approval process. Anyone looking to buy — especially in a competitive market — should ask a reputable lender to pre–approve them for a mortgage. A mortgage pre–approval letter: 1) Confirms you can qualify for a mortgage; 2) Tells you how much you can expect to borrow, provided your financial status doesn't change; and, 3) Makes you a stronger home shopper since sellers won't have to worry about whether you can qualify for a mortgage.
