How Are Pre-Qualifying And Pre-Approval Different From Each Other?

Pre-qualification is an informal way of presenting the amount you may be able to borrow. You can be pre-qualified over the phone with no paperwork by telling a lender your income, your long-term debts, and the size of the down payment you can make. Without any obligation, this helps you to arrive at the ballpark figure of the amount you may be able to spend on a house.
