PREPARE BEFORE YOU SHOP
Find Your Buying Power. Before You Find Your Home.
Getting pre-approved before house hunting helps you shop with a clearer understanding of your financing options. With iLoan’s streamlined technology and personal guidance, you can prepare to move when the right home comes along.
02
Make a More Competitive Offer
A pre-approval letter shows sellers that a lender has reviewed your financial information. This may strengthen your offer compared with an offer that has no financing review.
03
Identify Issues Earlier
Reviewing credit, income, debts, and documentation before making an offer may help uncover questions or conditions that need attention during financing.
04
Be Ready to Move Forward
Having your initial financing review completed may help you respond more confidently when you find a property you want to purchase.

YOUR MORTGAGE. YOUR WAY.

✓ Streamlined online application
✓ Secure document upload
✓ Licensed mortgage consultants
✓ Personalized loan program guidance
✓ Support through the closing process
Mortgage pre-approval is subject to credit review, verification of financial information, underwriting requirements, and applicable loan guidelines. Pre-approval is not a commitment to lend or a guarantee of final loan approval.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval.
Both can help you begin your homebuying journey, but they are not the same. Understanding the difference can help you prepare before making an offer on a home.
THE STARTING POINT
Mortgage Pre-Qualification
An initial assessment of your potential mortgage eligibility, often based on financial information you provide.
✓ Initial financing estimate
✓ May involve limited documentation
✓ Helps begin budgeting discussions
✓ Does not guarantee loan approval
READY TO SHOP
Mortgage Pre-Approval
A more detailed lender review of your financial qualifications, which may include credit evaluation and verification of income, assets, and debts.
✓ More detailed financial review
✓ May include verified documentation
✓ Can provide a pre-approval letter
✓ Helps support a purchase offer
Pre-qualification and pre-approval processes vary by lender. Neither guarantees final loan approval. Final financing remains subject to underwriting, property review, verification, and loan conditions.

MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL QUESTIONS
Questions About Pre-Approval? We’ve Got Answers.
Understand how mortgage pre-approval works, what lenders review, and how iLoan’s technology and experienced consultants can help you prepare for your next home purchase.
How quickly can I get mortgage pre-approved?
Timing depends on your financial situation, application completeness, documentation, and lender requirements.
iLoan’s streamlined technology allows borrowers to start online and securely submit requested documents, helping make the process more convenient.
Does getting pre-approved affect my credit score?
Mortgage pre-approval commonly involves a credit inquiry. A hard inquiry may temporarily affect your credit score. The impact varies by credit profile and scoring model.
Multiple mortgage inquiries made within certain shopping windows may be treated as one inquiry for scoring purposes. The applicable window varies by model.
How long does a mortgage pre-approval last?
Many mortgage pre-approval letters are valid for approximately 60 to 90 days, although the actual period depends on the lender and documentation.
If your pre-approval expires, updated financial information or another credit review may be required.
Can I get pre-approved before finding a house?
Yes. Getting pre-approved before house hunting can help you understand your financing qualifications and potential purchase price range.
Having a pre-approval letter ready may also help demonstrate your financing preparation to sellers.
What documents do I need for pre-approval?
Commonly requested documents may include pay stubs, W-2 forms, tax returns when applicable, bank statements, and identification.
Your iLoan consultant can explain which documents apply to your employment and financial situation.
Is mortgage pre-approval a guarantee?
No. Pre-approval is a preliminary lending decision based on information reviewed at that stage.
Final approval depends on underwriting, verification, property eligibility, and satisfaction of applicable loan conditions.
Can I get pre-approved with less-than-perfect credit?
Possibly. Different mortgage programs have different credit requirements. Lenders also evaluate income, monthly debts, available assets, and other qualification factors.
Explore our FHA Loans and Mortgage Programs pages for additional information.
Can I complete the entire mortgage process online?
iLoan offers online application and secure document submission options. Borrowers can communicate with their mortgage team throughout the financing process.
Certain verification, signing, or closing requirements may vary by loan program, property location, and transaction.
Does pre-approval determine how much I should spend?
Not necessarily. Your pre-approved amount reflects financing qualifications, but your personal budget should also consider savings goals, living expenses, and other financial priorities.

How do I start my pre-approval with iLoan?
You can begin by contacting iLoan or starting the mortgage application process. A licensed mortgage consultant can explain available programs, documentation requirements, and your next steps.
