Hey BP community,

Just getting started getting out of this rat race we call life (finally!). Been doing a ton of reading and research the past few months and getting ready to take the plunge.

Got my first pre-approval and I have a sneaky suspicion that they offered me a terrible rate, knowing how new I am. I understand that I won't qualify for a killer deal my first go around and I am not expecting to. I just would like to know if I will be wasting time to save a few dollars by shopping around or if it is really worth it to bring my business elsewhere.

I have great credit (750+) and enough money in the bank to do this deal in cash, if that makes a difference.

Thank you so, so much for your time!
