10 Steps to Las Vegas Home Ownership (Page 3)
 

Step 3.  Getting Pre-Approved For a Las Vegas Home Loan
 

Nearly all Las Vegas home buyers, particularly first-time homeowners, will require financing in order to purchase their property.  Just about anybody willing to pay above-market interest rates and fees can get a home loan mortgage, that’s not the issue.  Rather, it is important to find the Las Vegas home loan best suited for you, which would be a home loan mortgage with the lowest rates and the best terms.

 

To save time and be efficient in your search for a home, your real estate professional will advise you to begin the loan process well in advance of making an offer on a property by getting “pre-approved” by a lender.  By doing so you will be able to identify the loan structure best suited for your needs, identify your price range, and gain credibility with a seller when making your offer on your new Las Vegas home.

 

What Does “Pre-Approval” Mean?

It is a simple process that means you have met with a mortgage specialist or loan officer who has reviewed your credit and borrowing power.  Based on their findings they will issue you with a letter stating that you have been “pre-approved” for a Las Vegas home loan within a certain price range.  (You may choose to meet with several lenders and get several pre-approval letters, however, it is important to be aware that each time a credit check is processed it shows up on your credit report and costs you “points”.)

 

While not a final loan commitment, your pre-approval letter will be a useful tool for showing to listing brokers when bidding on or making an offer on a Las Vegas home.  It demonstrates your financial credibility to sellers, which will be important because they will be reluctant (or, in most cases, unwilling) to accept an offer from a buyer that has no evidence of their ability to obtain financing.
