Atlanta, GA Increase Credit Scores To Get Home Loans
CreditGA can help you improve your credit scores when you need it most; when you are attempting to purchase a home. It’s very important to check your credit scores before applying for a mortgage. However, reviewing your credit report and credit scores ranks up there with about as much fun as a doctor visit. The difference is, however, you pay the doctor big bucks for the hour or two you spend in the chair, while spending a couple of hours with your credit report can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars on your next home loan.
When it comes to home loans, credit reports and scores are used to help:
- Determine which loan program you qualify for
- Determine your interest rate
- Set the rate you’ll pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI)
- Determine discounts you may qualify for on homeowner's insurance
Credit Scores From 3 Major Credit Bureaus
Unless you are getting a private mortgage, the lender will require a mortgage industry credit report. These reports are provided only to mortgage lenders.
Most mortgage lenders will base your home loan approval on the middle FICO score. For example, your three FICO scores are 620, 650 and 661, the middle FICO score is 650 and will be used.
All credit scores are not created equal. Your credit scores obtained from the three credit bureaus are not the same as your FICO scores. FICO scores are what most lenders use to verify your credit worthiness. There is only one real place to get your unbiased, true FICO credit scores. The only place a consumer may purchase their Equifax and TransUnion FICO scores is at www.myFICO.com. Experian stopped allowing myFICO.com to sell consumers their FICO scores effective February 14, 2009.
The FICO score will often determine which mortgage program you qualify for and the interest rate for the loan. Learn more about qualifying for a home loan.
Here’s a tip for improving your credit score to get the best mortgage:
Start early. Mistakes and inaccuracies on credit reports can take weeks (if not months) to correct, even when the lender or credit reporting agencies acknowledge the error. That's why CreditGA recommends reviewing your credit reports and FICO scores early in the process to give yourself time to correct mistakes and make improvements when you first consider a home loan.
