The benefits of getting preapproved for your mortgage.

Judging by the large number of people who seem to scour the internet... going from mortgage website to mortgage website... in search of mortgage "how to" information, it seems many prospective borrowers are laboring under the assumption there are a lot of questions that need answers first... or, to put it another way... a lot of "guesswork" involved in getting the mortgage that's best for them.

The fastest route to obtaining a thorough mortgage education, and eliminating most of the guesswork, assumptions and myths about mortgages, is simply getting preapproved for one.

With a good preapproval, you'll know the best mortgage program available for your particular borrowing profile, which takes into account; your credit picture, income, assets, reasons for buying or refinancing, your plans for the property, as well as your interest rate and approximate monthly payment. Additionally, you'll learn what kind of cash you'll need to close the deal, and how long the process will take. In short, you'll discover exactly what your mortgage options are, and everything else there is to know about the mortgage that best matches your goals.

There are additional benefits to getting preapproved... like being able to close your mortgage faster when you do find the right property. And, fast closes are almost always attractive to sellers who need to move on... sometimes quickly. So, going into a purchase offer as a preapproved buyer may help get you the deal you've been looking for, or give you added leverage with the seller; as well as an additional advantage over other buyers who are not preapproved.

Regardless of where you get preapproved, preapproval should always be free... without any upfront or application fees. It should be reasonably fast... within 24-48 hours. And, it should be provided without obligation to go any further into the mortgage process... as getting preapproved is essentially a discovery and learning exercise, which every prospective borrower is entitled to know before any type of commitment can be expected or required.
