You might have an idea of the loan payment and mortgage you can afford. But will the bank feel otherwise? It's always best to be pre-approved for a mortgage so you know exactly how much a financial institution would be willing to lend you.
In that process, which will include a triple credit check, you will\discover:
- Exactly how much home or land you can afford.
- How much cash you will need for the down payment. (In NJ, buyers are expected to put down funds within 2 weeks of an accepted offer).
- The advantages of higher down payments.
- What the bank feels you can afford for a monthly payment and whether you feel comfortable with it, given your other financial responsibilities.
