FICO Strategery

First off, this advice is designed to raise your FICO Score. This will allow you to secure a lower interest rate mortgage for your home. Do not mistake this advice with improving your overall credit health. If you are like me, and have trouble remembering to pay your credit card bills, and always having that feeling that an un-maxed credit card is burning a hole in your pocket, then this may not be the best advice. Anyway, here are some tips to improve your score.

Buyers dutifully pay their PMI (private mortgage insurance) premiums and accept it as a permanent obligation. It is not. In the case of amortized mortgages, there comes a point in time where the buyer has enough equity (20%) to cancel the insurance. Normally, that’s some years away. But not always.

Equity in a house can reach 20% not only by loan paydown but also because of significant home improvements or appreciation in value.
