Itching to get my first property, but what comes first the property or the preappoval?

[Kay H.]

Hi,

I've been doing wholesaling for a bit, but I really really want to get my first property. but I don't have any money for the downpayment. I make good income and my credit score is below 700 but above 620. Can I still get a property? Should I look for hard money for the down payment? Should I look for the property first and then look for the money? Or should I try to get preapproved first and then look for the deal?

Should I just wait and try to save up for the downpayment?? I think that just make take forever though.
