“We are pre-approved for WHAT?!?!” I will never forget nearly falling out of my chair when my husband (then boyfriend) and I went to get our mortgage pre-approval to buy our first home over a decade ago. We still had student loans, car payments, and a love of travel we wanted to afford… we didn’t want our mortgage to leave us living paycheck to paycheck and eating PB&J every night. But as two finance majors, we had insights many first time home buyers do not. Understanding a few nuanced secrets to the home buying process based on my experience can help you be more confident in your purchase, and more certain that your first home mortgage is a successful fit for your family’s finances.
