Items considered when pre-qualifying for a mortgage loan include:

There are many different types of loans to consider - FHA, VA, Conventional and even Bad Credit Loans. Find the best loan for your situation.
Now is the time to shop for a loan originator. Find one who your comfortable with and will take the time to sit down and answer your questions. During the interview they may ask you personal question and start a loan application. Besure to tell them you need to get pre-qualified and ask for a letter of qualification you can use when making an offer on a home.
