Prequalified

  • First step, it gives you an idea of how large a loan you’ll likely qualify for. 
  • Involves supplying a bank or lender with their overall financial picture, including debt, income, and assets.
  • The lender reviews everything and gives an estimate of how much the borrower can expect to receive.
  • Pre-qualification can be done over the phone or online, and there’s usually no cost involved.
  • Keep in mind that loan pre-qualification does not include an analysis of credit reports or an in-depth look at the borrower’s ability to purchase a home.

 

Preapproved

  • Second step, a conditional commitment to actually grant you the mortgage.
  • The borrower must complete an official mortgage application to get pre-approved, as well as supply the lender with all the necessary documentation to perform an extensive credit and financial background check.
  • The lender will then offer pre-approval up to a specified amount and offer an idea of interest to be charged.
  • Lenders will provide a conditional commitment in writing for an exact loan amount, allowing borrowers to look for homes at or below that price level. This puts borrowers at an advantage when dealing with a seller because they’re one step closer to getting an actual mortgage.

The answer is it depends on the type of mortgage the buyer obtains. Most buyers want a mortgage with fixed rate terms. The interest rate will not change over the life of the loan. However due to various factors driving the motivation of the buyer whether it be monthly payments, interest rates or something else, there are adjustable-rate mortgages that will change the interest rate at specific times throughout the life of the loan. These changes are calculated and known to the buyer before closing to mitigate surprises during the loan process. These can be advantageous in some instances for buyers.

A HELOC or Home Equity Line of Credit can be an adjustable rate or fixed rate mortgage, tied to the prime rate, a borrower takes out on their home and uses as a line of credit. It works like a credit card, with the ability to borrow money (against the equity in their home) at different points in time and only pay interest on what they use.
