The first step to buying a home today is getting pre-approved for a mortgage from lender. Be prepared for that first meeting, and be ready to have information on the following things:

1. Employment and income- 2 years if you are employeed, 5 years if you are self-employed

2. Outstanding debts- including student loans

3. Cash reserves and assets- retirement savings and gift funds

4. Down payment- cash you will pay out at closing

5. Loan purpose- new home, refinance, home equity line

6. Property use- primary residence, investment property

7. Property type- condo, single family, duplex
