Midtown Atlanta Georgia real estate is constantly changing. With traditional sales, Short Sales and Bank Owned properties, it can become confusing on how each sale can be different and what to expect along the way.
One of the first and foremost things that needs to happen is for you to be pre-approved with a lender. In today’s market, mortgage rules have changed dramatically. Gone are the days that were referred to as if you walk and breathe, you can get a mortgage. You will need to be prepared to provide documentation on everything from your employment to your bank statements and tax returns. For more information about what is required by a lender to be pre-approved for a mortgage, visit our Mortgage Information or our Preferred Vendor List.
This crucial step in the home buying process is important for two reasons:
You want to confirm that you are able to obtain a mortgage loan. You might have long forgotten “credit issues” that you thought were not an issue, but a lender may think otherwise. By getting this process started in the beginning, you can identify any issues and work on resolving them.
Also by starting the mortgage process at the very beginning, you have a better idea of the amount you can afford for a home. This also works two ways. You might be approved for a $300,000 mortgage, but in reality, you’d rather have the payment associated with a $200,000 mortgage. This helps not only you, but your real estate agent in identifying the home or condominium that falls in that price range.
