How to Kickstart the Homebuying Process

When you're getting ready to buy a home, are you supposed to contact a lender or real estate agent first? It's your choice but if you contact an agent first, they will ask you "Have you been preapproved for a mortgage?"

There are certain benefits to contacting a lender first regardless of whether you're using a VA, FHA or conventional loan. Credit Expert Tim Alvis shows you how contacting a lender can give you an idea of what you can afford and what types of mortgages you qualify for before you begin searching for the right agent.
