#76. Get Pre-Approved For A Mortgage - Completed

It happened last night. I was so excited that I forget it was even one of my goals for the year.

This past week has been a combination of stress and hoping somehow, the stars aligned.

• We were waiting to hear back from the bank on whether we could afford the house we wanted
• We were waiting until the listing for my condo became active (today!)
• We were waiting to hear back from the builder on whether the hold was lifted by another person

*He put an offer in on the house so we're now waiting to see if it gets accepted.

The biggest part of this process was being assured we could even afford the house in the first place. It was quite over our inital budget but we saw the value in having a rental suite below. Luckily so did the bank.

Our Mortgage Specialist gave us the update a day early making it was the best way to end Monday.

"Hi Jenn,

Thank you for the awesome news! I am able to now go ahead and make the builder a conditional offer? That being subject to financing and the sale of my condo? 

Regards,

Ashley"

"Yes, you certainly can."
