When should I talk
to someone about my mortgage options?
There is nothing more frustrating that falling in
love with a home, only to find out you can’t afford it.
What’s the best way to avoid disappointment? Figure out your
finances before you start looking.
Pre-qualifying for a mortgage is the best
way to find out how much you can afford. Your financial
institution will look at your income, expenses and debt to
determine how much they will lend you. Combine that amount
with the money you have for a down payment, and that’s your
budget.
Once you have pre-qualified, consider applying
for a pre-approved loan. Then, when you find
the home you want to buy, it will speed up the
purchasing process.
