Understanding the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved for a mortgage is crucial for homebuyers. 🏡

✅ Pre-qualification is a preliminary assessment based on information provided by the borrower, such as income and debts. It offers an estimate of how much you could potentially borrow.

✅ Pre-approval, however, involves a thorough verification process where the lender examines your credit report, verifies your income, and assesses your financial background. It provides a more accurate picture of your borrowing capacity and demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer.

Knowing the difference helps homebuyers set realistic expectations, streamline their home search, and strengthen their negotiating position when making an offer on a property. It also ensures that they are financially prepared for the mortgage process ahead. 📑📋

Here are five tips to help you get ready to buy your first home:

1️⃣ Keep a good credit score! The higher, the better. This is a snapshot of your financial health, and lenders use this to gauge your ability to repay debts.

2️⃣ Save a down payment! The bigger the down payment, the better – the minimum down payment when less than $500,000 is 5%; between $500,000 and $999,999, you will need 5% for the first $500K and 10% for the portion above $500K, and $1 million+ you need 20% of the purchase price.

3️⃣ Keep your income stable. Lenders like to see proof that you can make your payments; a full-time job is the best way to show it.

4️⃣ Pay down existing debt. Your balances don’t need to be at $0, but how much debt you carry will affect how much you can borrow.

5️⃣ Get a mortgage pre-approval!

Here are 5 reasons you should use a mortgage broker vs going to your bank:

1. Expertise: We are seasoned professionals with in-depth knowledge of the mortgage market.

2. Access to multiple lenders: Unlike banks or direct lenders, I have access to a wide network of lenders, including banks, credit unions, and private lenders. This gives you access to a broader range of loan products and competitive rates.

3. Personalized guidance: I work directly with you to understand your financial goals and preferences. Then provide personalized guidance throughout the entire mortgage process, from pre-approval to closing, ensuring you make informed decisions every step of the way.

4. Save time and effort: Searching for the right mortgage can be time-consuming and overwhelming. I handle the legwork for you, comparing options, negotiating terms, and handling paperwork, saving you valuable time and effort.

5. No cost to you: In most cases, working with a mortgage broker won't cost you anything. We are typically compensated by the lender, so you can benefit from my expertise and guidance without any out-of-pocket expenses.

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, it is essential to reach out and explore your options. With today’s higher rate environment, some homeowners have difficulty qualifying at renewal and feel “stuck” with their current lenders. The best thing you can do is get advice early and explore your options.

Taking on debt that will potentially pay you dividends in the future, like a mortgage, is considered good debt.

Bad debt is when you take money from your future self to buy goods and services today, which provide you with no future income benefit.

The right amount of good debt can help you build long-term wealth and afford the things you want, without taking on bad debt.
