Demystifying Your Credit Score-Alee Douglass
Having a high credit score is important all the time, whether you are buying a home anytime soon or not. Your FICO score and credit report are so vital to getting any type of loan, and this series will give you the financial strategies you need to get your credit score as high as possible.
There’s one number — your credit score — that could make or break your opportunity to get all sorts of loans.
A great, and even good, credit score can save you thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of dollars on your mortgage when you buy or refinance, for example!
The better your score, the more willing lenders will be to offer you a lower interest rate and more loan options you’ll have to choose from.
It’s never too late to begin practicing good credit habits. Remember that your credit score is just one part of your financial picture that a lender will use to determine your ability to pay back your mortgage. However, it’s one of the biggest factors that determines the interest rate you receive.

Move-Up Strategies to “Buy First Then Sell” - Alee Douglass

This 5-part series is a “how-to” guide for moving up to your next home with as little stress as possible. Whether it’s your first time moving up or you’ve done it before, this series is a great resource. This time around, you’ve got more to think about, plan, and “get right” then when you bought your first home.

Many move-up buyers would rather buy their new home first, and then sell their current home, but it can be more difficult to do when it comes to financing. A lender must approve you to buy first, and that way you’re not required to sell your current home in order to finance your next one.

However, you want to make sure you don’t end up with two homes at the same time (at least for too long!), and today’s article gives you a rundown of what to expect.
