Hey folks, it's time to get real about your credit score. If you're anything like me, you probably don't pay much attention to it until it's time to apply for a loan or credit card. But did you know that your credit score can make or break your ability to obtain a mortgage loan?
.
When you apply for a mortgage loan, lenders take a close look at your credit score and credit history. They want to know if you're a responsible borrower who will pay back the loan on time and in full. A good credit score can help you qualify for a mortgage loan with a lower interest rate and better terms, while a poor credit score can make it more difficult to get approved and result in higher interest rates and less favorable terms.
.
In short, your credit score is one of the most important factors that lenders consider when deciding whether to approve you for a mortgage loan. By taking steps to improve your credit score, you can increase your chances of getting approved for a loan with better terms and save yourself thousands of dollars in the process.
This is a no-brainer, but it's worth repeating. Make sure to check your credit report for any errors or fraudulent activity. You can get a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus every year, so take advantage of it.
This one seems obvious, but it's worth emphasizing. Late payments can have a big impact on your credit score, so set up automatic payments or reminders to make sure you're always on time.
Your credit utilization ratio is the amount of credit you're using compared to your credit limit. Aim to keep your utilization ratio under 30% to improve your score.

If you're struggling to keep your credit utilization ratio low, consider asking for a credit limit increase. Just make sure not to use the extra credit as an excuse to spend more.
Having a mix of credit types (like a credit card, auto loan, and mortgage) can improve your credit score. But don't open new accounts just to add diversity - only take on credit that you actually need and can handle responsibly.
