You're ready to prequalify for a house in Cloverleaf. Prequalification is a more formal estimate of how much of a home loan you could get approved for.

The prequalification stage is also a great time to work with your lender to find the right mortgage options for you. Start with Mr. Cooper’s online prequalification tool.

Prequalification lasts 120 days.
