Prequalification vs. Preapproval

Prequalifying for a mortgage helpsyou determine how much home you can afford.

Prequalification doesn’t mean approval for a loan.

Preapproval means the lender has approved your actual loan amount.Preapproval puts you in a better negotiating position

The First Step in Buying a Home

Financing

Down Payment

Many lenders require 3.5 to 20 percent down payment on your home

more money down may qualify you for a lower interest rate
