[quote=moneymaker]This was my response when inquiring about new housing “Thank you for your interest in our new home community. We are selling homes about 5 months before they’re built! We go to our Priority List first and then we sell out of the latest Phase release within a week. You can get on our Priority List by getting pre-approved by CMG Financial. I have attached their contact information. Approvals from outside lenders will not get you on the list.” I guess one doesn’t have to finance with CMG but seems a little strict.[/quote]

This required pre-approval by CMG is more of a vetting process than anything. I don’t think you’re required/forced to obtain the loan through CMG if you get to the stage of obtaining the loan.
