Buying & Selling Real Estate

When should I get a pre-approval letter?

Hi BP!

I’m actively searching for my first investment property. I will be seeking a bank loan to purchase the property and I’m wondering when would be a good time to get a pre-approval letter. I haven’t narrowed down any properties, just actively looking. I understand some have an expiration date. Any advice is much appreciated!!
