Credit Report/Score

Everyone’s financial position is unique. Some people have cash reserves they can use for down payments, while others may want, or need, to get into a home with little or no money down. When financing a home, your credit rating is very important and varies from person to person. Do you know yours? In addition, strategies may vary. Some people plan to stay in their home for the rest of their lives, while others may plan to stay only a few years.
Comparing your interest rate to that of your neighbors can be misleading. Keep in mind that the interest rate is just one component of the mortgage. Have you taken into consideration variables such as the term, down payment requirements, income qualifications, credit ratings, reserve requirements, current debt, and prepaid points? All of these factors go into selecting the mortgage program that best fits your needs.
