Finance is the leveraging tool to help
you get into the property, and property will be the vehicle that will create
your long-term wealth.
It is important to have a finance strategy, part of which is a finance pre-approval.
This means that a lender has agreed,
in principle and in writing, to lend you an amount of money towards the
purchase of your property, but this will still be subject to certain conditions, including the exact property that you will be planning to buy.
It's vital to have your finances pre-approved before starting your property search, so you understand your budget and can act promptly if and when you
find the right property.
Some of the advantages of a loan
pre-approval for property investors are:
- You'll know exactly how much you can
spend
- You’ll be able to make a firm offer on a
property
- You know what your repayments will be and
therefore your cash flow
- Your final loan will be organised faster
- There's no cost to you
Be wary of any website that offers you
a pre-approved home loan without taking the time to assess your financial
situation.
It should go without saying that
unless a lender has fully assessed and approved your financials, any ‘approval’
you get may not accurately reflect what you can actually borrow.
