Your preapproval amount is not your spending target. 🏡
A lender may approve a certain amount, but that number does not always reflect what will feel comfortable in your everyday life.

Tip: Choose a comfortable monthly payment range before you start touring homes. Let that range—not your maximum approval amount—guide your search.
