Just got pre-approved! Already house hunting but think the real hunt will begin next week when Christmas is over. Your page has kept me sane. Your voice calms me ha
How long is a pre approval good for? (For example, say you start shopping and it takes a while to find the house you want. How long can you shop around before you need to get pre approved again?)
When I applied, they asked about the house I wanted to buy. I was surprised because while I had an idea on a house, I was no where close to settling on it.
I applied to a broker just to see how much I can afford and all that fun stuff. They also asked in their form what price range and zip code I wanted to buy the house. I was honest and told him that before I start looking I want to know what I can get approved for. He said "wow you're doing it the right way" so I'm guessing people also get excited before taking to them but I was clear what my plan was
Hi Kyle! Do you recommend getting underwriting pre-approval and do most lenders actually do that? Never knew about it until I came across it in an online article. Thank you!
Kyle, does the 45 day shopping window begin from the time a prequalification application is submitted or when the lender checks credit? I submitted loan prequalification to a National Bank days ago and I haven't been contacted, if I cancel my request will my credit not be pulled?
I know this is old but I have a quick question, can I get pre-approved if I only have the down payment in my account but will have the closing cost money about 3 weeks later from initially requesting that pre-approval letter?
I am in underwriting. They told me to get on a payment plan for car repo. Called the car place and they told me I can't make monthly payments. Would have to pay half of balance. Now what does this mean for me ?
Hmm, you'll want to ask your lender why you need to be on a payment plan for the repo. It might be possible for them to just take 5% of the balance into your debt-to-income ratio.
@@WinTheHouseYouLove Great stuff. Thanks! ..... I'm a pc guy.... looks like you are using wistia soapbox to record - you on the left and the content on right? or is that a screenflow set up? Love the visuals and looking for something easier than recording with a powerpoint deck and my narration... takes too much coordination of advancing the slides ! the bullet list and pen highlights is really nice.
Do you know if the location of a house determines qualifications for a mortgage? I’m a stay at home mother and my husband works from home too, but does have to go into the office twice a month. We are looking at purchasing in an area about 80-90 miles from his jobs headquarters. Would this be a problem?
Thanks for offering all your great advice. Shopping for my first home this month!
Awesome, best of luck!

Usually 90 days before credit needs to be re-pulled
Valuable information thank you so much as always lyle great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very interesting! Rarely do I talk to someone who is applying that already has a house in mind.

Thanks for watching!
Awesome content! Super helpful Kyle!
Glad it was helpful!
My score is at 569. I’m working to get it to 580. What if my credit score changes AFTER pre approval? I’m looking to move in the next 2-3 months
Usually nothing unless you have them pull your score again
Kyle, how do you edit your videos to add the white page with text? And then mark them up?! Thanks.
I just screen record my iPad
Hi Kyle! Do you recommend getting underwriting pre-approval and do most lenders actually do that? Never knew about it until I came across it in an online article. Thank you!
You can, but I don't think it's super necessary.
As long as your loan officer is checking credit and all your documents, that should be sufficient

It begins when credit is first pulled. It's difficult to say, you'd need to ask them
No offer to submit when buying a new home.
Signing with the builder is basically the same thing
How do you get a pre-qualified degree required while applying for a funded school?
I'm not sure what a pre-qualified degree is

what to do if the bank wont lend unless repairs are made and owner does not have the money for repairs
You'll most likely need a rehab loan in that case

So if you’re credit score isn’t at the “qualifying rate “ does that mean you can’t get a pre quality letter ?
It's better for you to build your credit first. Thanks for watching. :)

It might require a Letter of Explanation for Underwriting
As long as you have a letter of explanation, you should be good
Is a pre approval a hard pull on your credit?
Yep
Respect!
Thanks!
