Get Pre-Qualified for a Home Loan

Pre-qualification is the first step in the home-buying process. It gives you a clear picture of how much you can borrow, what your monthly payment might look like, and which loan programs you're eligible for — all without impacting your credit score.

A pre-qualification letter also signals to sellers and real estate agents that you're a serious buyer with financing in place. In competitive markets, this can make the difference between winning and losing a home.

Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval

Pre-Qualification

Quick estimate based on self-reported information. No hard credit pull. Takes minutes. Good starting point for budgeting and house hunting.

Pre-Approval

Full credit check and income verification. Lender issues a conditional commitment. Stronger than pre-qual when making offers. Takes 1–3 business days.

Why Pre-Qualification Matters

Loan Programs Available

Conventional

3–5% down. 620+ credit. PMI drops at 80% equity. Best rates for strong credit profiles.

FHA

3.5% down. 580+ credit. Flexible DTI. Government-insured. Great for first-time buyers or lower credit scores.

VA

Zero down. No PMI. For veterans and active military. Some of the best rates available.

USDA

Zero down. Low fees. For eligible rural/suburban areas. Income limits apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does pre-qualification affect my credit score?

No. Pre-qualification uses a soft inquiry that does not impact your credit score. A hard inquiry only happens when you formally apply for the loan.

How long does pre-qualification take?

Most pre-qualifications are completed in minutes. You'll need to provide basic information about your income, debts, and the type of property you're looking for.

How long is a pre-qualification valid?

Pre-qualification letters are typically valid for 60–90 days. If yours expires before you find a home, your lender can issue an updated letter.

What information do I need?

For pre-qualification: estimated income, monthly debts, desired loan amount, and property type. No documents needed at this stage.

Can I get pre-qualified with bad credit?

Yes. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580 (or 500 with 10% down). Pre-qualification helps identify which programs fit your current credit profile and what you can do to improve your options.
