there is a lot of BS on this board man. "even if youre in the real estate business, its easy to keep ur score in the 700's" GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!
all of you with the 750+ you MUST not have and home loans...car loans, recreational vechicle loans..such as boats and things, or even major credit card. maybe a house and a car..but thats about it.
mattheskeywalker: ur right man.
once u got a few properties in ur name..a few cars..some credit cards..even if you've never had a late payments EVER. you score will eventually fall under 700. thats my promise to ya.
DIV: bro, don't believe that shit. you MUST have credit in order to do anything these days. cars....and lil things like that can be purchased with cash. but what about when u want big things, and the best rates possible. there's HUGE difference in paying 5% for a long than paying say...7 or 8%.
you MUST keep ur credit score in check. dont ever get it checked by these online companies, they put u in their data base. this is nothing to be fucked with folks. go to a proper banker, make an appointment. they MUST provide u with a free credit report. most of them will do that because they want ur busines. have them explains what every line means and how to keep it in good standing and how to remove the BULLSHIT off ur report.
