Rebuild through Mortgage


A lot of people who go into deep debt promise themselves never to borrow again. Once they experience bankruptcy, they want to avoid going into debt like the plague. Credit scores are devastated by declaring bankruptcy and it is very easy to see why no one wants to go through it again. In case you haven't heard credit scores are the basically just the numerical way that your credit worthiness is identified to creditors. Your numbers will tell them what they need to know about you. If you dont understand the numbers I will break it down to you.

300 to 500 is very bad

500 to 600 is bad, but you can still get a mortgage, or a very high rate auto loan with this score

600 to 700 is poor but again you can still get a mortgage with a reasonable down payment, or a high rate auto loan

700 to 800 is just OK

800 plus is good

Knowing this, you must know credit scores are not just used for borrowing. These numbers are sure to affect just about every aspect of your financial life in the future. Here are examples of the types of companies that use them to decide whether to do business with you AND they will also set your payment rates:

Employers
Auto, Life, and Health Insurance
Apartment Rental
Bank Accounts
Utility companies are trying

So even if you dont want to your credit score to determine your life, you really need to use a mortgage to rebuild your credit scores. A mortgage may sound ridiculous as it is a major debt but it is really a great way to prove your worthiness. A mortgage is the quickest, easiest, safest, and best way to rebuild your scores. Let me show you how.

Quick You cant do anything that will move your credit scores higher faster than a mortgage. The reason for this is because it is a larger debt and carries a lot of weight in your scores because of it.

Simple - Believe it or not getting a decent mortgage is much easier that getting a decent credit card or car loan. Pre-approval is a great way to go about it, so long as your bankruptcy has not been filed sooner than 6 months ago.

Safe - You are already paying rent for your house or apartment, so why not pay to own? It is a debt that you have to pay anyway, so why not make it work for you?

Makes sense - Mortgage lenders are considered by your scores as similar to a bank loan. They are not third rate lenders like the credit card, auto loans, personal loans that are always available to you. Third Rate Lenders have a negative effect on scores, but mortgages are looked at a real asset and getting one is a sure fire way to improve your score.
