Many real estate buyers put the "Cart before the Horse"

They first 'guess' how much home they can afford.

They do extensive homework, view dozens of properties and submit a real estate contract that is
contingent upon getting mortgage financing. Then they apply for a loan on the property and are
told they can't get approved in their 'guessed' price range. They should have Pre-qualified first.

A Mortgage Loan Pre Approval allows you to search for real estate with confidence. You will know
that the homes or condos that most interest you are within your price range.

Remember, sellers are more willing to negotiate their asking price down when a buyer shows them
a financial approval letter. Many Mortgage Brokers offer a free credit report review.

Mortgage Refinancing? When it comes time to get quotes for a refinance ... know your credit score
and what you qualify for. You'll avoid unnecessary surprises. Lenders base Loan Approvals on your
credit score. The higher your credit score ... the lower your mortgage rate.

Credit Reports. Up to 60% of people who check their credit report find errors. You can get a free
credit check if you've been denied credit in the last 60 days. 3 credit bureaus Equifax, Trans Union
and Experian collect information from major creditors and lists your credit history which determines
your credit score.

Your Credit Score is a single number that provides potential lenders with a "snapshot" of your credit
history. While your credit score may differ slightly from one reporting agency to another, any of them
can provide lenders with the information they need to approve or deny a real estate loan application.
Credit scores assess the likelihood that a borrower will repay a loan or credit card on time.

Credit Score Example  Excellent (760-850) - Good (660-749) - Fair (580-659) - Poor under 579

July 30, 2008 The Senate passed and the President signed a landmark housing bill to shore up the nation's housing finance system. The bill contains billions of dollars in loan guarantees, a tax break for first-time home buyers and many other provisions. The rescue plan extends an unlimited line of credit to the two mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for 18 months and gives the Treasury the authority - also for 18 months - to buy Fannie and Freddie shares if the Treasury deems the companies’ capital to be inadequate.
