Prequalify or Preapprove?

prequalify or preapprove

Prequalifying for a mortgage is simple and easy!  Preapproving is more in depth and detailed.  There’s no cost or obligation — know your options!

Prequalification Definition

Prequalifying involves giving basic info to a loan officer and then you receive an opinion about what you qualify for and what programs and terms you should consider.  If your situation is simple, you have good credit, and you are not trying to max out your purchasing power than prequalifying is all you need to do.  You can be prequalified without your credit report being obtained but eventually, if you apply for a mortgage, the credit report will be obtained and must be satisfactory.

Preapproval Definition

Preapproving involves a credit pull, a review of your paystubs, W2s, etc and a more in-depth review.  If your situation is more complicated then you will probably want to get pre-approved.
