🏡💰 Thinking about buying a home? Don't confuse pre-qualification with pre-approval!
A lot of first-time buyers assume they're the same thing, but there's an important difference!
🔹 Pre-Qualification: Gives you an initial estimate of how much you might be able to borrow, often based on basic financial information.
🔹 Pre-Approval: Usually involves a more detailed review of your income, credit, debts, and financial situation to help determine a potential borrowing amount.
Here's the important part: A mortgage pre-approval is NOT a guarantee of financing!
Your lender will still need to verify that you and the property meet its requirements before providing final approval.
Before you start shopping for your dream home, make sure you understand your budget and financing options.
