As such, the Murphy team knows all about tenant qualifications. What does it take to rent or buy a home? The list of answers is extensive, but having a good credit rating is key. Neglecting your bills is always unwise—and even small balances left unpaid can ruin your credit report. According to homesource.com, your credit score is a huge factor in everything from interest rates on up. Businesses use it to gauge whether or not you’ll be able to repay loans, and it may even be considered by prospective employers. Generally, if you have a credit score that’s above 720, you’ll qualify for the best terms and interest rates. So if you’re considering applying for a mortgage loan, auto loan, or additional credit card, having good numbers on your side is crucial. By paying your bills on time and taking steps to pay off bad debts, you can ensure that your credit history will be free and clear. And that means a free and clear future!
