What Do You Know About Your Credit Score?

When qualifying for a mortgage, most people do not know what their credit score is and how important a role it plays.

Here is a guideline:

Mortgage lenders rely heavily on your credit score to evaluate your qualifications for a home loan because your score indicates how you have handled credit in the past, which serves as a predictor of your future repayment pattern. According to Credit.com, excellent credit gets a score of 750 or above; good credit, 700-749; fair, 650-699; poor, 600-649; and bad credit is a score under 600.
