How long do lenders typically honor a Pre-Qualification?

[Jordon Nichols]

Hello everyone!

My question is pretty simple and straight forward.

How long do lenders typically honor a Pre-qualification?

I plan on using either an FHA or a VA loan when I get home from overseas in about 2 months to purchase a 4 unit. I am pondering getting pre-qualified now in order for Real estate agents to take my inquiries more seriously and to get that portion squared away ahead of time but fear I will have to get re-approved later, have another credit mark, and have to go through the process again.

Thank you for the help and advice!
