After you’ve got your finances in order and made sure your credit report is current, then you’ll want to take the next step and get a pre-approved mortgage.
Most home owners and realtors will want potential buyers to be pre-approved. In fact, you might not even get in the door to talk without pre-approval.
You’ll have to have good credit, a history of paying your bills on or before their due dates, and a debt-to-income ratio of 43% or thereabouts. Most lenders prefer that your housing expenses are 30% of your monthly gross income, so check that before going to your banking or lending institution.
