How to Prepare for Buying Real Estate in Memphis
Get Your Financials in Order
Before applying for a mortgage or making an offer, it’s critical to approach the process from a position of financial strength.
- Avoid large purchases or job changes
- Monitor and improve your credit score
- Pay down debts to improve your debt-to-income ratio
- Work with one of our preferred mortgage lenders for prequalification
We’ll connect you with reliable lenders who specialize in residential, commercial, and investment loans. They’ll review your credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and help determine the right financing path.
Organize Your Financial Documents
Be prepared with the following when you’re ready to buy:
- Bank statements and recent pay stubs
- Last 2 years of tax returns
- Credit card and loan documentation
- Investment account summaries (401k, stocks, life insurance, etc.)
- Lease agreements if you currently own rental property
Loan Pre-Qualification: Know What You Can Afford
Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage will help you:
- Know your ideal price range
- Understand monthly payment expectations
- Compare loan options (FHA, conventional, VA, investor loans)
- Estimate your down payment and closing costs
Tip: Get pre-approved before house-hunting—this makes your offer more competitive and shows sellers you’re serious.
