Getting a <strong>mortgage pre-approval<\/strong> is usually the first step and is very beneficial because it shines light on how much you can afford, ensuring that you&#8217;re not getting into a financial\u00a0nightmare\u00a0that you&#8217;re not prepared for.\u00a0Mortgage\u00a0is a huge and financial responsibility and you want to take out as much uncertainty as you can. Most real estate agents and sellers want you to have mortgage pre-approval letter before they start working with you. essential<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, here is the essential list of things to know about the mortgage pre-approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Shop around for mortgage.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen starting the mortgage\u00a0pre-approval\u00a0process you want to talk to a few different mortgage lenders first. Even tough the deals might be\u00a0relatively\u00a0the same you can always fine tune. This allows you to know how much money you have to work with, helps a lot when looking for the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Get your financial state in order.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can request and obtain a free credit report from TransUnion or Equifax credit agency which will show your credit standing and for a fee you can get a rating too. This is what lenders will see before you apply for mortgage\u00a0pre-approval.\u00a0You want to take care of your outstanding debts and loans and make sure you are looking good. Close down any unused debt and make sure the information is all in order and the best it can be. This will give you better rates and larger amount.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. You don&#8217;t have to settle for one lender.<\/strong><br \/>\nJust because you get your mortgage\u00a0pre-approval\u00a0done with one lender doesn&#8217;t mean that you should at the end go with them because the rate used when calculating the mortgage\u00a0amount\u00a0is not\u00a0necessarily\u00a0going to stay. At the actual time when you find the house and sign purchase contract that&#8217;s when the loan type and rate will be determined. If not\u00a0satisfying\u00a0look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Prepare your financial documents.<\/strong><br \/>\nYour lender will tell you exactly what you need to bring with you when going for a mortgage pre-approval but to be prepared include: T4 slips for last 2 years, Tax returns for last 2 years, Bank statements for last few months, Recent pay stubs or other proof of income and Proof of investment income, if any.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Stay on top of it.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou usually have 90 days to house hunt after you get your mortgage\u00a0pre-approval\u00a0letter showing the amount. Sellers want to be sure the buyers\u00a0financial\u00a0situation is\u00a0still in\u00a0order and hasn&#8217;t changed drastically. If it did, notify your lender so your\u00a0pre-approval\u00a0is adjusted too.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to look for a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">house in Burlington<\/span>, remember to call\u00a0<a title=\"Burlington Real Estate Agent\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loriv.com\/team\/vandinther.aspx\">Lori VanDinther, Burlington realtor<\/a>.\u00a0Being a long time resident of Burlington and working in the real estate industry for over 20 year, Lori has all the\u00a0necessary\u00a0skills and experience to representing your best interests and <em><strong>help you make all the right moves<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unless you have a wad of cash just sitting around, chances are you&#8217;re\u00a0going\u00a0to need to borrow money from a lender to buy a house in Burlington.
