How I was able to Increase my Credit Score to buy my Dream home!
I was able to increase my credit score over the time of a few months by using a service called RentReporters. Overall my score went from 642 to 800!
This in turn saved me a lot of money on my mortgage for my dream home that has a 500k mortgage.
Without further ado here is how RentReporters works and how it helped me:
RentReporters will report your rental history to the credit bureaus which in turn increases your credit score. I have been renting the past 5 years and they verified with my landlord that I made on time payments for the last 5 years. They then were able to add it to my credit report as an entry. I been very happy since I was able to save quite a bit on my interest rate and I did not have to put much effort at all!
You can see my the results of my experience below:
