Loan Shopping | Big Bank, Credit Union, or Loan Officer?

[Nicholas Ayala]

Getting the ball moving by working on getting pre-qualified. Helpful to know what I can really afford. Wasn't too sure if I should look towards doing it through a Big Bank (like Wells Fargo, etc.), Credit Union (i.e. Charlotte Metro), or find a loan officer/broker for it.

I started the application for a credit union and it had asked me how much of a loan I would like, not sure because I haven't found the property (yet). Hit a blocker to complete that application. 

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!
