Did you know...
The credit scores that Chase, American Express, Bank of America (just to name a few) give you on their website or mobile app is NOT the same credit score that they use to determine if you qualify for a credit card or loan.
Generally, of the 3 credit bureaus- TransUnion®, Experian®, Equifax® - your Experian FICO® score will suffer the most from personal debt.
[there are exceptions to this]
Questions to ask lenders to ensure you get the best deal:
- What's my total loan discount fee?
- What are the rate and payment options?
- Loan credits: Do I qualify for any?
Most mortgage officers wont give unless you ask.
Lots of professionals will say you have 45 days to shop for a mortgage in order to have only one hard inquiry on your credit report. This is incorrect. According to FICO®, you have 14 days. After that point, your report will show more than one hard inquiry.
