Friend, let me tell you something. Looking at houses without pre approval is like trying on wedding dresses without knowing your budget. It is emotional and dangerous.
Pre Qualification Versus Pre Approval
Pre qualification is based on what you say.
Pre approval is based on verified documents.
In today’s market, sellers take pre approved buyers seriously.
What You Need
• Two years of tax returns
• Two months of bank statements
• Recent pay stubs
• Identification
• Social security number
If you receive child support and want it counted as income, it must be documented consistently.
One Income Strategy
Have at least two months of mortgage payments saved after closing if possible. That cushion changes everything emotionally. You deserve to move into your home with confidence, not anxiety.
This is your gentle reminder to move strategically and confidently toward ownership. You can do IT!
Sis, Stop Renting.
