doing the right thing."

5. First, RaiseYour Credit Score
A 2% difference in your mortgage
interest rate makes a huge
impact:
On a $100,000 30-year
mortgage, you’ll save $43,968.68
with a 4% loan instead of 6%.
With a $200,000 30-year mortgage,
the 2% difference in interest is
$87,937.37
6. RaisingYour Credit Score
Use one major
credit card.
Avoid over-
using credit
cards.
Focus on
paying down
debt.
Pay installment
loans on time.
Obtain a copy of
your credit
report.
Ask for
“forgiveness” for a
more positive
report.
Refrain from
applying for
new credit.
7. “If you do what you've always done,
you'll get what you've always
gotten.”
~Tony Robbins
8. ChoosingYour MortgageTerm
Can you afford the monthly payments on the 10- or
15-year terms?
How much money over time will you spend on
interest on the 30-year term?
In addition to paying off the loan sooner, the 15-year
term usually carries a lower interest rate, too.
9. Think about whether you should select the 30-year
option if the difference in percentage points you’re
offered is only a half-percent more.
When you select a 30-year option, you’ll pay a lower
monthly payment and be better able to swing paying
extra mortgage payments throughout the year.
Weigh out these issues with your specific cash flow
and financial situation.
