Welcome Sosunavaladez.
It's not that having 2 loans will damage your credit score. Your credit will be hurt only when you don't make the payments. If you rent out the first home, would the rental income be enough to cover the loan payment?

If both of your have good credit, there's no problem in using the credit scores of each. However, you may use only your husband's credit for the second home loan just in case you think it may be tough to handle both loans on the first home in future.
Thanks. |

It will benefit you if you make on time payments.
Mortgages are not REVOLVING, which means that the payments/terms are fixed. Getting an installment loan, auto loan, or mortgage will benefit your credit score. Getting a mortgage will help your credit criteria more than an auto loan or an installment loan.
Your credit score may drop when you first get the loan but you will see an increase within the next 4-5 months of making payments. The credit score drops because it's a new tradeline AND because they have pulled your credit.
MAKE SURE TO MAKE ON TIME PAYMENTS!

celia, if you maintain payments on time during the next couple of years, that ought to override the effect that your late payments in the last 2 months has had on your credit scores. if you can stay on top of things, you ought to be able to make the purchase you desire to make in 2 years.

Celia if you are planning to settle your payments and start making regular payments, talk to your lender and see if they correct your scores.
I am sure they wi be hapy to get the money, but you need to put the condition. |

lenders do not correct scores. furthermore, late payments will render accurate scores, so there's nothing to be corrected.
yes, a lender is happy to "get the money" but adding conditions to your payment of what is due isn't going to have any influence on them.
again, geni...i don't get your reasoning.

Definately there are some misconception about credit score.
Credit score will not damage by 2 loans. i have seen many cases handling 2 loans.
But proper planning will help out in this 2 loan senario. |
