Buyers mistakes

Credit Mistakes Potential Home Buyers Make

Maintaining a strong credit score is one of the most important things potential buyers can do if they want to qualify for a mortgage, since credit scores are used by lenders to measure financial health. A recent study showed that 34 percent of potential buyers believe their current score will hurt their future ability to purchase a home.
If your clients are concerned about their current credit rating, Yahoo! Finance offered some advice on common credit problems they should avoid.
1. Don't be late. Paying bills on time is essential, since a person's payment history makes up 35 percent of the total credit score. A late bill payment of 30 to 60 days also gets reported to credit bureaus and stays on the credit report for a whopping seven years.
2. Applying for new credit. According the National Association of REALTORS®, applying and being approved for a new line of credit can cause concern with lenders who might take it as a sign that there's a higher risk of default due to increased spending. Bottom line, if your potential buyers are planning to apply for a home loan in the near future, make sure they don't apply for anything else around the same time, Yahoo! Finance warns.  
3. Having high balances. Just making minimum credit card payments isn't good enough for most mortgage companies. People who hold high credit balances are not looked as favorable loan candidates since high balances and maxed out cards raises the debt-to-income ratio, according to lenders. 
4. Too much disputing. While it's a good idea to keep tabs on the credit report and dispute false charges, doing so too-often will be a red flag to lenders who may chalk it up to gaming the score instead.
5. Not having a credit history at all. Credit can't be established if there's none to begin with, so if your clients have a thin credit file, let them know they need to start building their history before applying for a home loan.
