Still have yet to do that. Josh (JDBishopArts) told me that is a good first step. However, I am in my current apt lease until 12/31, so I don't want to really get too far ahead of myself here. I guess I could go ahead and do one to get an idea as to what I might get, but IDK.

Some realtors won't show you property till you have been pre-approved. If you find a house you like and try to make an offer they will accept anybody that is pre-approved before you. That is the first step in the process.

worked with 2 realtors, they both wanted to see qualification letter before showing houses.

Its better to get qualified than not when shopping for a house, my bank took less than an hour for qualification letter but that's not normal from what I heard.
