The information in your credit report has a huge impact on whether or not you qualify for a mortgage loan and what interest rate a lender will offer. Therefore, it’s important your credit report reflects a positive image of the way you manage your money. If you’re getting ready to buy a home, checking your credit report is the best way to ensure you get the loan and interest rate you deserve.

Hi Lisa,  Thanks for the information on credit scores when looking to buy a home.  Many people don't think they will qualify for a good mortgage rate, so they continue to rent instead of buying.  Good information!
