There are many prerequisites when applying for a mortgage and meeting all of them is often essential if you want to qualify for financing. One primary prerequisite is low debt levels. Lenders need to know that you are capable of paying off the money you borrow from them, and they verify this by checking the amount of debt you currently hold. Elevated debt levels generally mean that your monthly expenses or payments are already high, which could limit your ability to repay them. This, in turn, may hinder your ability to qualify for a mortgage as most lenders are often concerned with limiting their own risk when lending money.
