2. Financial qualification. It is important to determine your mortgage loan options as you begin your home search. A Shorewest real estate agent can help determine if you may be a good potential home buyer, but it’s even more important to get pre-approved by a qualified lender like Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation. To determine if you qualify for a home loan, a loan officer will want to look at your credit report and discuss your current financial situation. For an in-depth description of the pre-approval process, read My Best Advice to Homebuyers, an article from Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation Vice President John Inzeo.
