Getting That First Ijara Loans Home Means Getting Pre Approved

While it’s true that you can get ijara loans that keep you Sharia compliant and away from riba specifically, any of the Islamic home loans products that you purchase will be similar in some ways to a more traditional Western mortgage. For example it’s a good idea to get preapproved for any type of loan before you start searching for a home.

Even though an independent trust will hold title to the property you finally decide on with  islamic home loans, it’s important that you have your house in order credit wise so that you can present a respectable reputation to a lending facility and get the money you’ll need to buy a house.

That means getting preapproved for a specific amount and having a good credit rating is a foundation of this beginning part of the process. Some people who have moved to North America from the Middle East and other Asian countries will need to establish this credit rating. It’s a good idea to start with the credit card that has a small reasonable limit and to pay all your bills on time. This is a great way to build a credit rating that will lead to a preapproval and an amount you can use as a benchmark when house hunting.
