Credit and Buying a home

[Sarah Reyes]

My credit score is currently poor. I’ve taken every step to get it on track and want to buy my first home a 1-2 from now. I’ve done nothing major aside from continuing to raise my credit.

I have 15k in debt but I’m chopping away at it.

Do you think raising my credit to excellent and showing zero debt will put me in a good position in lenders eyes to put down on a home?

Thank you!
