How to Reach Out to Lenders

[Kevin Gamboa]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is well and safe. Me and my girlfriend are in San Diego, CA and plan on buying our first home. We will begin reaching out to lenders soon, and I wanted to know how we should go about that.

What is the most efficient way to reach out to as many lenders as we can to see what we qualify for?

What documents should we have ready and how should we present these documents?

Are there any red flags that I should keep an eye out for in terms of predatory behavior?
