Answer 2

Since mortgage lenders do not report loans to the credit bureau until payments have been initiated, being pre-approved Willl not affect your credit score unless you get so many pre-approvals from so many lenders that the number of inquiries affects your scoring.

Make certain that the lender supplies you with a copy of your report so that you may check it for accuracy. That way, if there are things to be cleared up you wil have the opportunity to do so prior to finding a property and closing on your loan. Just a couple of points increase can sometimes make a difference on the loan program you have access to and the rate you may be able to lock in.

Happy hunting. I hope you find the home of your dreams
