The first and most important step in the home buying process is in finding out just how much of a home you can really afford. Whether you are a first-time buyer, looking for a second or vacation home, or wanting to buy that dream home, getting pre-approved by a lender will prevent disappointment later on. Pre-approval is based on your employment, income, assets, liabilities, and available cash on hand to close on your home.
