So you’ve decided this year is the year to buy a new home!  Maybe you’re getting tired of renting or you are looking to upgrade your current home.  Whatever your reason is understand this: you’re heading into a hot housing market and a pre-approved mortgage will help you succeed.

In a hot Real Estate market, it is the norm for quality homes to sell in days – not weeks or months. Time is of the essence when you find a home that you are interested in.  You cannot afford to wait to get Pre-approved before you make an offer.  By the time you get the Pre-approval the home may be sold.  As a result, it is critical you get Pre-approved for a mortgage or loan BEFORE you start looking. Insight Loans takes this process very seriously and will work toward getting you Pre-approved within hours of receiving the required documentation.

A Few Pieces of Info Needed for Your Mortgage to be Pre-Approved:

Here’s what you’ll need to provide to your Loan Officer:

  1. Most recent Bank or Investment Statement showing the down payment money.
  2. Most recent 2 years W2s for all borrowers.
  3. Most recent 30 days of Pay Stubs for all borrowers.
  4. If you are self-employed add in the last 2 years Federal Tax Returns.

Remember, a little bit of work up front will really pay off in the end.  You’ll know how much you can offer, and most importantly, you’ll have the pre-approval in the hands of your Realtor for when it is time to make an offer.
