Pre-Approved vs Pre-Qualification

Why it's good to get pre-approved:

  1. You find out how much you are approved for. 
  2. You will know how much you need for a down payment.
  3. You will know what your monthly payment will be.

Differences between pre-qualification and pre-approval:

 

Pre-qual does not require an application; pre-approval does.

Pre-qual does not require income verifications; Pre-approval does. This would include W-2 and pay stubs.

Pre-qual does not require asset verification; Pre-approval does.

Pre-qual does not require underwriting approval; Pre-approval does

Also, you will get your credit checked whether you are getting a Pre-approval or a pre-qualification.
