Utah County Real Estate and Improving Your Credit Score
Generally speaking the number one criterion a Mortgage lender considers when qualifying a Home Buyer for a mortgage loan is a good Credit Score. The higher Credit Score, usually the lower the Interest Rate. Other factors are obviously considered when determining the interest rate, but all lenders look at the Credit Score first. That being said, it is very important to understand how you maintain or improve your Credit Score before applying for a Home Loan.
