Not Getting Pre-Approved

The first thing you should do when entering the market for a new home is get pre-approved for a loan. This not only helps you know your maximum price range, but a loan pre-approval letter is attractive to sellers. Not getting pre-approved for a loan may result in you making an offer on a home you will not be approved to purchase. You also could have your offer rejected in favor of someone who does have a pre-approval letter.

Going it Alone
