Understanding how much you can afford is one of the most important rules of home buying. Depending on your individual situation, your budget can affect everything from the neighborhoods where you look, to the size of the house, and even what type of financing you choose.
Bear in mind, however, that lenders will look at more than just your income to determine the size of the loan. Likewise, you may find that there are some creative financing options that can help boost your purchasing power.

Loan prequalification vs. preapproval
One of the best ways to determine your budget is to have your real estate agent or lender prequalify you for a loan. Prequalification is different from preapproval, because it is only an estimate of what you'll be able to afford. On the other hand, preapproval is a more formal process where a lender examines your finances and agrees in advance to loan you money up to a specified amount.

What factors are important to lenders?
Banks and lending institutions will use several criteria to determine how much money they'll agree to lend. These include:
* Your gross monthly income
* Your credit history
* The amount of your outstanding debts
* Your savings--or the amount of money you have available for a down payment and closing costs
* Your choice of mortgage (i.e. 30-year, FHA, etc.)
* Current interest rates

We will try our best to find the best buyers in case you are on the buying end of the business. We are even willing to throw in necessary information when it comes to the renovations and improvements you need to complete in order to raise your property’s value to the maximum cost. Together with this service and MLS in Washington searches, we also offer you a relocation assistance program which can make moving on to the next home and out of the one you sold a lot easier.

If you're having trouble saving money, many lenders will allow you to use gift funds for the down payment and closing costs. However, most lenders require a "gift letter" stating the gift doesn't have to be repaid, and will also require you to pay at least a portion of the down payment with your own cash.

We assure you that our efforts will always result to your easier tasks and less responsibilities for you. Call us today!
