Prequalification vs. preapproval

you're going to get a lot of different responses, but in general, a pre qualification means a loan officer interviewed you and maybe look at your credit, and discussed your income and job situation, and says, "yes, I can get you approved".. Preapproval, means you did a full application, provided the lender with your tax returns, w2's, pay stubs, bank statements, etc.. And has viewed everything, and from that, has determined you are approved.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

A pre-qualification is the process in which a mortgage lender looks at your income documentation, pulls your credit report, fills out an application and runs that information through an automated underwriting system for an approval. The pre-approval is the documentation from the automated underwriting system that states you are approved based on the information input into the system.
