There is quite a difference between the two types of lender mortgage letters; one is called an initial Pre-“qualification” and the other is its much-esteemed big brother, Pre-APPROVAL.  

A simple pre-qualification letter can be obtained from a wide variety of home mortgage lenders, many are online and offer simple questionnaires that when completed will process your basic information and email you what is sometimes referred to as a “pre-qual letter”. Buyer beware though, the computer generated dollar-figure-answer is often inaccurate and can be far from the truth. Your best bet when seeking a to find out how much you can borrow to purchase a home is to speak personally to a local Fort Worth home mortgage lender.

Let's look at the way Realtors® and Sellers view these two mortgage loan letters.....

The Pre-qualification Letter – Getting a pre-qualification letter from a local Fort Worth mortgage lender is easy to obtain if you have decent credit and financials. You will be asked to provide the mortgage lender with some basic information about your income, debts, and overall financial situation. It is important to give the lender accurate information so they can give you a good “ballpark” amount of a loan that you might qualify to receive from them. The dollar amount you receive in your pre-aualification letter will be the maximum amount the lender MIGHT be willing to lend to you to purchase a home. The words "Ballpark" and “Might” are key words here.

The Pre-approval Letter - A Pre-Approval letter carries a great deal more leverage for you, the Buyer, with the seller once you have found the home you love and want to buy and it can help you win in negotiations! When you get Pre-APPROVED for a mortgage loan, your credit and financial situation has been more closely examined by the mortgage lender, you have completed a mortgage application and your financials are beginning to be verified. This is a very important distinction between the pre-qualification letter and the pre-approval letter. You will be asked to provide a variety of documents, such as paycheck stubs, tax records and bank statements to the lender. They will check your credit scores. The pre-approval process is more in-depth and therefore gives you, the home buyer, a much more accurate idea of how much you can truly borrow to buy a home. That's why getting this type of mortgage loan letter in advance of going home shopping is highly recommended. homes for sale grand prairie
