Are You Researching for a home: And A Loan?
It is my experience that home shoppers need to research financing at the same time they research homes. People are spending months researching homes before they purchase. Is that you? Are you looking at homes you qualify for, working to qualify for, or dreaming to have someday? There is no wrong answer to this question.
The wrong answer is to be researching homes without researching financing. You should know what you qualify for, what you almost qualify for, and what you can qualify for with some changes. (Example: Lower monthly debt payments.) The more you know the more you are likely to choose a good lender, buy the home you want, and have a good purchasing experience. The fact is the less you know the more likely it is to hurt you. Too often people get tied up with a low skilled lender, with a lender that is too busy, or inexperienced.
