Want to save MONEY? - 01/23/11 11:00 AM
People do not always know the importance of a good credit score. Letting your score deteriorate can cost you a lot of money. Did you know that insurance companies will increase their premiums for people with bad credit? Credit card interest rates go up too for people with bad credit. It's nearly impossible to get a mortgage and if you do, the rates will be higher. And the list goes on....

Public Housing has many flaws and I have been contemplating what can be done to improve the situation. The Housing Department offers Section 8 vouchers to many people in need but the majority of landlords will not accept Section 8 vouchers. It is very difficult to find properties that accept Section 8. As a property manager and landlord, I have dealt with Section 8 many times.
