You can be ‘pre-approved’ before formally applying for a loan.
Southwest Funding gathers information from you about your income and debts and makes a preliminary financial determination about how much house you may be able to afford.
Usually, a pre-approval letter is issued showing the amount for which Southwest Funding has pre-qualified you. Please understand that the lender will take the information that you give about your income, assets and debts in order to pre-qualify you. The pre-approval is only as good as the information that you give, and is subject to the lender’s verification of that information during the formal application process.
It's a good idea to know how expensive a home you can afford before you start shopping for one, and a pre-approval from Southwest Funding can help. If you can provide a pre-approval letter, sales agents and sellers will know that you are an able buyer and may take your offer more seriously. A pre-approval letter may sway a home seller to negotiate with you as opposed to another buyer who is not pre-qualified. If you are refinancing the loan on your existing home, then the pre-approval process should help you decide whether refinancing is a good idea for you.
