Step 1. Find out how much you can borrow
The first step in obtaining a loan is to determine how much money you can borrow.  In case of buying a home, you should determine how much home you can afford even before you begin looking. By answering a few simple questions, we will calculate your buying power, based on standard lender guidelines.
You may also elect to get pre-approved for a loan which requires verification of your income, credit, assets and liabilities.  It is recommended that you get pre-approved before you start looking for your new house so you: 

• Look for properties within your range.
• Be in a better position when negotiating with the seller (seller knows your loan is already approved).
• Close your loan quickly (loan already approved) .
