The realestate resources you will need to sell or buy a home in Los
Angeles.

The easiest way to buy a home is to have a pre-approved loan before
you start looking. This is very different from a pre-qualification letters, which
merely states that you may get the loan. You want to have the money in hand.
This not only sets your price range, but also gives you the upper-hand when it
comes to striking a deal.
Your objective as a home buyer is find the best home at most
affordable price. With a pre-approved loan, you will have a much better chance of
buying the best home. In many instances, a seller will forgo the highest offer in
exchange for a buyer with an approved loan. Why agonize through the loan application
process waiting for a buyer to get approved or denied, when you have a buyer who is ready
buy.
You may want to use the Mortgage Calculator
as starting point.
On a final note, remember that lenders will give you the
final loan approval only after a home appraisal. This is in both the buyer's and the
lender's best interest.
