Read a great article from Gary Tice over at Fairhaven Mortgage. He gave me permission to share it with you:
KNOW THE SCORE: THREE STEPS TO BETTER CREDIT
If you are looking to buy, invest in, or refinance real estate now or in the coming months, your credit is going to play a more significant role in today's tight-fisted credit environment than it has in the past. It's that simple. Would-be borrowers need to address any and all credit issues now to avoid having to pay for it later. But, here's the kicker. Nearly 80% of all credit reports contain errors of some kind. Recent studies also indicate that about one-fourth of these reports contain mistakes so egregious that applicants could actually be denied credit! Don't let this happen to you. Step One: Get Your Report While you're online, be sure to visit www.optoutprescreen.com as well. This will help you avoid the hassle of becoming a "trigger lead" and being bombarded with unsolicited mortgage offers, and make life a lot easier throughout the mortgage process. Step Two: Report Inaccuracies Step Three: Meet With Your Mortgage Professional |
