Getting Pre-Approved When You're Out of State

Many Prosper buyers I work with are relocating for jobs in Frisco or McKinney and want new construction with room to grow, and buying remotely is completely normal in today's market. The process:

1. Initial call — 15–20 minutes to discuss your income, credit range, down payment, and timeline
2. Document upload — 2 years W-2s, 30 days paystubs, 2 months bank statements, and ID via secure link
3. Credit pull — with your authorization, I pull a tri-merge credit report and confirm your qualifying score
4. Pre-approval letter issued — usually within 24–48 business hours, usable with any Texas Realtor or builder
5. Remote offers or builder contracts — your Realtor handles tours, or I coordinate directly with the builder's preferred process

Out-of-state income — W-2, self-employed, or remote work — is fully acceptable. Call or text me at 469-545-7180 to start.
