Taking the first steps into purchasing a new home can sometimes be stressful. As a Veteran Owned, Veteran Operated and Veteran Focused company, we are here to answer any and all VA home Loan related questions. If you or your client are looking to get a VA Home loan, here are the first few steps they may want to take:

Talk with a Morgan Financial Mortgage Loan Originator

The best place for a borrower to start in their VA home loan journey would be to call and discuss their options with a VA Mortgage Loan Originator. Our VA experts can talk the borrower through their options and help an eligible veterans obtain their Certificate of Eligibility.

Obtain a Certificate of Eligibility

Obtaining this document is the next step in moving forward. The COE verifies, to the lender, that the borrower is eligible for a VA-backed loan.  While the COE proves eligibility, the borrower must also qualify for the loan with a VA approved lender to obtain the loan. When a borrower talks with a Mortgage Loan Originator at Morgan Financial, they can help them with this process.

Pre- Qualification

A pre-qualification is a discussion between a mortgage loan originator and a potential borrower regarding income, assets, and credit worthiness of the borrower. If someone is deemed “pre-qualified”, it means that it sounds like the borrower meets the guidelines based on that discussion. Just to be clear, these to do no have the highest probability for success.

Pre-Approval

At Morgan Financial (not necessarily everywhere) a pre-approval takes the pre-qualification a step further; all of the necessary documents are gathered from the borrowers, reviewed and approved by the underwriters, and any questions have been cleared up prior to being pre-approved. A pre-approval from Morgan Financial often holds more weight because of our positive reputation within our community.

Purchasing Power

Once a borrower has obtained their pre-approval letter, they are now ready to begin shopping. When a borrow has been pre-approved, they have had their income, assets, and credit verified by the lender. This paints a much better picture and allows the lender to confidently back a borrower. Furthermore, a seller will often take the bid of a pre-approved borrower much more seriously than perhaps other potential buyers who have not been preapproved by a qualified lender. This provided the borrower with purchasing power!
