You never know where you can find inspiration for the future without guessing about the look.Hi JenThat is really some good observation that you carried out :)I hope to get some inspiration from you.Thanks a lot for quoting on my article

I'm not a credit score expert, but a few observations...This article appears to be a year old (2010 vs. 2011), unless the author still hasn't adjusted to the new year.Any article from ezinearticles.com needs to be taken for what it is, which is a marketing tool to get people to click their links at the bottom.My understanding is that your credit score from the Big 3 is not the same as a FICO, which is a score calculated by Fair Isaacon (sp?)

If you have less than 50 units, you should stick with one of the free apps or try Buildium.FYI - we train others on using Buildium, Appfolio & Propertyware and the number one observation we have is that most people don't take the time to learn what the software can do.
