Credit Facts for Real Estate Professionals

 

Credit is the real estate investors biggest leveraging stick. It allows us to get more for less. When you combine great credit with prudence and education you can leverage small amounts of OPM ( other people’s money) to create a secure life and true wealth.

And the savvy, educated real estate investor knows that building and maintaining high credit scores is no longer optional. But there’s a huge problem with doing that…

Real Estate Investor Credit Credit facts   Dan Ridenour

Over an hour of fast, straight-to-the-point training on personal and business credit, myths and money from expert author.

The Credit Scoring System Sucks.

Why? Because financial decisions that are truly smart financial decisions to make are penalized by the consumer credit scoring system. Get over an hour of fast, straight-to-the-point live video training on personal and business credit, myths and money from expert author of 3 books on the subject.

In Dan’s new book, “FINANCIAL FOLLY…Seven Smart Financial Decisions that Lower Your Credit Score” he describes the details of the seven financial decisions that are truly smart financial decisions to make….but are penalized by the consumer credit scoring system.

These errors can cause you to “accidentally lower your own credit scores” which can cause higher interest rates, higher insurance premiums and limit job opportunities.

However, the educated real estate investor who know the rules can still profit by using your credit to make ( and save) you a lot of money.

For example, did you know:

  • Refinancing a loan even at a lower interest rate can have a negative impact on your credit score?
  • For those of us who buy real estate with our own cash and private money, we’re no better off. If we don’t know the rules that they make, paying cash or using private money can also have a very negative impact on our credit scores both personally and financially.
  • Free credit report….Free Score…. are these sites worth the money we are charged to monitor our credit? NO! and Dan will explain why and how you can save $240 and then review your critical credit information for errors, inquiries, payment history, and identity theft.
  • And here’s where gets tricky for landlords running a tenant application to verify if they will be a quality tenant: The problem is that credit scores are not always the most accurate measure of quality or risk. Scores can move for non-pay history reasons.

How to Creatively & Legally Get and Keep Great Credit to Make (and Save) Money

FACT: A large portion of the scoring system does not care whether the payments have been paid on time or how long your account has been open. These 85 points are granted merely for having open accounts. Once an account is closed, you lose that impact on this factor of the credit score.

  • I have a rental in my personal name and because of that my credit score has dropped 60 points.
    Can I have my business assume the loan to get it off my credit or what can I do?
  • Which are better for getting rental property loans: credit unions or banks?
  • If I just want basic information about how credit scores work…what should I do first?
  • How can someone really influence their credit score?
  • Do credit disputes really work?
  • If I have questions about credit, budgets or financial matters what is the best way to get them answered?

Real Estate Investing Credit Credit facts   Dan RidenourThe answers to these questions and others will make or break you. Most real estate investors and business owners don’t know these rules even exist. And because of that you can accidentally lower your credit scores even while making wise financial decisions. That’s because the credit scoring system is broke, and has been for quite some time. And unfortunately, there is no hope on the horizon for fixing it. Dan knows why the system is broken and why nobody can, or wants to, fix it.

More importantly Dan explains how you, as a real estate investor, can overcome this deadly pitfall. So you can safely and confidently know what decisions to make during your personal and business transactions. In the coming years will find that credit scoring becomes paramount to success or failure in your real estate endeavors.

Best Credit Facts & Repair for Real Estate Professional

Get the facts about:

- Debt ratios. All loans require a specific debt ratio which is the monthly payments divided into the income. When people borrow more money, as they have three months in a row, then the payments to service that debt increase. This increase in payments causes the debt ratio to increase.

For many mortgages, the acceptable ratios are 28/40. This means 28% of a person’s income can be applied to the mortgage debt. The 40% means by adding the mortgage debt and all other consumer debt (auto, personal, credit cards) cannot exceed the 40% ratio. The three month increase in consumer debt puts these debt ratios at risk. Don’t meet the ratios….don’t get the loan!

- Balance ratios. The balance ratios are a whole other animal and apply only to the credit score. 30% of the credit score (255.0 points) are awarded based on the amount of revolving debt divided into the revolving available credit. If the three month increase in consumer debt is due to increased credit card usage, then undoubtedly the balance ratio has increase. This increase in balance ratio will lower a credit score.

- Types of Accounts. The “types of accounts” portion of the credit scoring system is worth 10% of the credit score. That means “85″ points are awarded or not awarded to each of us based on this particular portion of the credit scoring system.
