Credit Offers

When applying for a mortgage and building credit in general, it is always important to have several different types of credit accounts including revolving and installment accounts such as credit cards and auto loans.  Below are several offers available to help you build your credit.  Please always remember when applying and using credit that you must be aware of the temptation to use more of the available credit than you should.  For a good credit rate you need to keep your balances typically below 10% on credit cards and when applying for a mortgage your total monthly debt will be compared to your total monthly income in what is called the "Debt to Income Ratio" and typically going into the mid 40% and above puts you in an area that can disqualify you from many loan options available.
