Buyer's Tip
Keeping your Credit Score High to increase your ease of being approved for a mortgage:
1) Pay your bills on time
2) Keep your credit balances low on those you must carry. Ie: Keep a low or non-existent balance on your credit card
3) Limit your credit. Available credit can damage your credit score. Ie: if you have credit cards for five department stores, even with no balance, your maximum credit on each card is calculated and negatively impacts your credit score
