Well, it's not a TOTAL waste of time to look for homes before you get pre-approved. It COULD save you some stress, though. A pre-approval will let you know what you can afford before you go house hunting, which keeps you from falling in love with properties that are out of your price range. (Like that villa in Italy.) Save yourself time and disappointment, and then you'll be able to CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON! #mortgagetipsformillennials #mortgage #mortgagetips #movementmortgage #home #homebuyers #homebuying #homebuyingtips #realestate #whatawasteoftime
