When you are ready to buy a home, the first step is to get preapproved for a home loan. This means that the lender has looked at your finances and determined how much money they would be willing to lend you. Getting preapproved is important because it shows sellers that you are a serious buyer and that you have the financial resources to buy a home.

The preapproval process can be a little complicated, so it’s important to be prepared. Here are the documents you will need:

What Do Lenders Need From The Buyer?

  •  Application
  •  Credit report (each lender will pull their own)
  •  Most recent paystubs (last 30 days)
  •  Most recent W2’s (last 2 years)
  •  Most recent tax returns both personal and business (last 2 years)
  •  Most recent bank/asset statements (last 2 months)
  •  Valid identification
  •  Bankruptcy, divorce decree, child support, alimony, etc.

Once you have these documents ready, you can start the mortgage preapproval process by contacting a Mortgage Loan Originator (Lender). The lender will review your documents and determine how much money they are willing to lend you.

What Do Lenders Look For?

The Buyer’s Ability to Repay the loan is based on the following:

  •  Credit score, payment history, and other obligations
  •  Stable employment history and consistent, VERIFIABLE income
  •  Debt-to-Income ratio (DTI)
  •  Down payment (source and seasoning)
  •  Payment shock?
  •  Reserve requirements?

Once you are approved, you will be able to provide a pre-approval letter to your Real Estate Agent and start looking for homes in the Dallas area. Keep in mind that the preapproval amount is not set in stone and may change depending on the home you choose and the market conditions. Contact me today to get started on the preapproval process.
