What is a lender's pre qualification letter?

he simplest process is pre-qualification. All you, the potential buyer, need to do is obtain a letter from a lending institution stating that, based on the financial information you have provided regarding your monthly income and expenditure, the lender would extend a loan to you up to a particular limit to enable you to purchase a home. It is a simple, informal, and non-binding agreement that demonstrates to the seller that you are a serious buyer.
Pre-approval is a more involved process. It delves deeper into your finances, but it's work that would need to be done anyway during the lender's loan approval process. Moreover, it has the added benefit of improving your standing with the home seller during the back-and-forth negotiations that usually take place in order to reach a mutually agreeable purchase price. A pre-approval letter will also bolster your own confidence if you are unsure whether you would be able to obtain a home loan. It will spell out the maximum loan the lender is willing to make, the loan programs you are qualified for - for example, VA, FHA, first-time homebuyer, energy-efficient homebuyer and others - and the current interest rates available. Before issuing a pre-approval letter, the lender will collect information about your credit rating, your assets and liabilities, and your employment. There may be a fee for a pre-approval letter.
