Still the American Dream

More and more renters aspire to be home owners.

 If you are a first time home buyer, the first thing you will want to do is get pre-approved by a reputable financial institution or Mortgage broker.  This is a very simple process.  It should take about 20 minutes and most mortgage brokers can pre-approve you over the phone.  You are not obligated to use them so you when you find your dream home with your realtor, you can still shop for the best rate.
