Why Your Credit Score Matters When Buying a Home
Myth: you need 800+ credit to buy. Truth: some loans go as low as 580.
But lower scores mean:
- Higher rates.
- Bigger monthly payments.
Boost your score by paying bills on time, reducing debt, and checking reports for errors.
A stronger score = more house and lower costs.
