Your First Step to Homeownership: Know Your Credit Score
If you're considering buying your first home in Highland, Clinton, Brown, Adams, Ross, or Fayette County, you need to know your credit score before doing anything else.
Your credit score is crucial for determining whether you qualify for a home loan and what interest rate you’ll receive. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Above 740: You’re in great shape for securing the best rates.
- 620 to 740: Most first-time buyer loan programs should be available to you.
- Below 620: It’s okay; it just means we may need to work on improving your score first.
