No, you really shouldn't - you should go to pre-qualify for a mortgage so that you have a good idea of how much you have to spend. Then be vague with your realtor about how much you qualify for so that they don't necessarily go straight for the upper limits of your pre-approval. Remember they are paid a commission by percentage so it is very beneficial for them to sell you the highest price home you qualify for! Always stay at least slightly lower than your upper limit -- you can always adjust if you found something irresistible! Always offer less than you think they'll accept so that you leave yourself some wiggle room -- who knows, you may be surprised in this housing climate -- they may accept a very low offer if you can get the money and close quickly. Again, DO NOT make your offer until you know you have the financing. That's a very dangerous road to go down - you would need to leave money with your offer and could lose the money if you then couldn't get the mortgage! |

You can, but it is best to get a conditional approval from an underwriting to know that you are really approved by the lender. There is nothing worse than getting a conditional approval from a broker to find out that the UW will not approve. If you get your full approval on your income and employment first, the only stips to clear will be on the actual property. |

of course
this is very common ... you write the offer subject to receiving acceptable financing. you'll want to specify the maximum interest rate you'll regard as acceptable, and possibly other terms, in the offer. |

Yes. In fact, this is how it is ALWAYS done. That's why ALL offers are written to include a clause about being subject to getting approved financing within a certain period of time. Not only that, it has to be "acceptable" financing to the buyer.
This is the most common way for a buyer to back out of the deal. Even if you get approved for a nice rate, you can just say it wasn't acceptable, and be on your way, usually with your earnest money as well.
A pre-qualification letter is essential, though. I won't even show a house to someone who isn't pre-qualified. There are too many dreamers out there who think they can afford a home that they can't possibly get financed for. |

you can, but they usually will not take your offer seriously unless you are already approved. |

You can say , "": I will offer 300,000 for your house, contingent upon my being able to obtain a mortgage..""
The seller can counter, " fine, but if before I hear from you, someone else comes in who HAS BEEN approved,. you are too late." ..."". |

That's backwards. Get preapproved so you know what you are likely to be approved for. Then make offer on home in your price range. If you have EXCELLENT credit, stable, longterm job history, and more than adequate income, you can do it your way. But if there are two offers for similar terms with one preapproved, guess which one they will choose? |

Most Sellers are not going to sign an Offer from you to purchase their property unless they are somewhat confident that you have the finances. So through their Realtor they will require that any potential Buyer provide a prequal or pre-approval letter from the lender.
A prequal letter is basically useless. The lender accepts whatever you say your income and debts are and says you are prequalified. A pre-approval letter from the lender indicates that they have also pulled your credit and have a ballpark idea of your ability to purchase. |

Yes you can but it is better to get pre approved first. This way you know what your budget will be. You may think you can afford 250K but then you find out you wont be approved for more then 125K. It works the other way too. If you put an offer in and you are not pre approved the other agent will ask you to get pre approved unless you are paying cash.
They will turn down your offer if you don't.
It's like going to the ice cream truck and asking for five popsicles and then saying I don't have any money. |

Yes you can, but it's better to get pre-approved that way you know how much house you can afford and stick to looking in your price range. it should say on your contract offer subject to bank or lender approval, also to if you are a first time home buyer STAY AWAY from adjustable rate mortgages go for the fixed-rate |
