How to Get Prequalified for a Home Loan

                                                                            

In today's fast paced real estate market if you are not paying cash, the first step to purchasing a home is to become preapproved for a loan. In order to obtain preapproval you must contact your local lending institution or bank.

To obtain a preapproval letter you must provide the lender with

• Two years of W2 statements (or 1099 income statements)
• Two years of Federal tax returns
• Bank statements dating back a few months
• Pay stubs or other proof of income 

Once you provide the lender with the information they requested, you will be given preapproval in the form of a letter for a certain amount. Now that you know your preapproval amount you know what you can afford to spend on your home or condo!
