Frequently asked questions

To increase your mortgage pre-approval amount, you can take the following steps:

  1. Improve your credit score: Pay bills on time, reduce outstanding debt, and correct any errors on your credit report to boost your creditworthiness.
  2. Increase your income: Seek opportunities to enhance your earnings, such as working overtime, taking on a second job, or pursuing career advancement.
  3. Save for a larger down payment: A larger down payment reduces the loan amount, increasing your chances of a higher pre-approval amount. Save diligently and consider alternative sources, such as gift funds or down payment assistance programs.
  4. Reduce existing debt: Pay off outstanding loans or credit card balances to lower your debt-to-income ratio, which can improve your borrowing capacity.
  5. Consider a co-borrower: Adding a co-borrower with a strong credit history and income can boost your pre-approval amount by combining both applicants' qualifications.

The specific impact of these actions on your pre-approval amount may vary depending on your individual circumstances and lender requirements. Consult with a Mortgage Loan Officer to receive personalized guidance.
