Resources for Mortgage Pre-Approvals

My name is Hannah and I am a newbie in the REI world. I am wanting to start with a house hack and live in the Orange County area. I am trying to get a good idea of what I should plan to save for, what I could afford with my W2 job, etc. before I seriously start looking. Does anyone have a resource or way that they get a good idea of how much house they can afford with their income and credit that is somewhat accurate without having to do a full inquiry?

@Hannah Noble reach out to a loan officer. They'll be able to run your credit and take a look at your DTI to see what you can afford. I highly recommend @Elise Marquette!
