Having a pre-approval letter before you go see a property allows you to know that you can qualify for a house in your price range and budget. This letter also shows sellers you have already started working with a lender, and you are a serious buyer. You need to know your numbers and payments before looking. If not, you may fall in love with your dream home and then find out it is out of your budget or comfort zone.
What you qualify for is determined based on a combination of your monthly income, assets in the bank, how much debt you have, and what your credit score is. There is not a one size fits all scenario, and that’s why it is important to get pre-approved before you go house hunting. You want to know for a fact that you can qualify for the house you may be looking at.

Points are a fee you pay to lower your interest rate. Rates are quoted at the market rate. Paying a point can buy the rate under market. A “point” is 1% of your loan amount. This fee is tax deductible and commonly buys your rate down roughly .25% under market rate.
