Here's a means of avoiding real-estate loan surprises and nightmares throughout the loan process. Pull your own credit reports 45 days before applying for an actual estate loan. There are a many things which can be misreported in your report that translate to an increased interest rate in your mortgage loan and possibly a denial of your loan.

Delinquent payments are one of the main thing that affect your scores. An inaccurate maximum credit limit versus high credit can be an issue I see often. If your maximum credit limit of $11, 000 shows on a credit card as well as your balance $3000 than you still owe significantly less than 50% of the Credit Report imit. Ideally each card should have less than 50% owed on each credit line. But when the utmost limit matches the high credit (the highest balance you've ever had on that card at one time) that isn't good. It appears like you might be maxed on that card.

To increase your score, it would be wise, before applying for a home loan, to spread your balances to reflect no card is showing higher than 50% of it's available credit limit. Some cards have lower interest levels than others but we're talking about increasing your over all credit score here not having the lowest credit card rate. Again sometimes creditors are not correctly reporting your maximum credit limit which inadvertently can impact your credit score.

By checking your credit reports 45 days before applying for a mortgage, you can explore these kind of problems and fix them ahead of the lender pulling their credit report. You are able to avoid surprises and inaccuracies because once the lender pulls their credit report, that's more or less it. If there exists a credit issue that's fixable and it is something which can boost your score, your lender can perform advise you to do a "rapid rescore" procedure that can possibly raise your Creditonce the credit report issue has been corrected but alongside that comes a cost countless dollars to remedy the situation.

It's less expensive to pull your own credit report through a company such as annual Credit Score one per year, it's free. You won't obtain your scores with the free version, that costs money, but just ensuring sure the info on your report is being correctly reported is very important and it will help you save headaches, time and money in the form of a lower mortgage loan rate in the long run.
