NEW CREDIT SCORE HACK: BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE BY 100 POINTS FAST IN 2024

Navigating the New Credit Scoring Landscape: Vantage 4.0 and FICO 10T

As a Credit Specialist, I'm here to provide you with valuable insights on the recent changes in the credit scoring system. These updates are particularly crucial for individuals who are looking to enter the real estate market, as they can significantly impact your ability to qualify for a mortgage.

The New Credit Scoring Systems

The two new credit scoring systems that you should be aware of are:

• Vantage 4.0
• FICO 10T

These new scoring systems focus on your financial history over the past 12-24 months, placing a heavy emphasis on factors such as:

• Credit Utilization - Keeping your credit card balances below 10% can significantly boost your score.
• Paid-Off Collections - Paid-off collections will no longer negatively impact your score.
• Rental History - Reporting your rental payment history can positively contribute to your score.
• Utility Payments - Reporting your utility payments can also help build your credit profile.

The Impact on Mortgage Qualification

While these new scoring systems are not currently being used by major banks for loan and credit card approvals, they are expected to have a significant impact on mortgage qualification. Specifically:

• The new scoring models may make it easier for individuals who previously struggled to qualify for a mortgage due to factors like tax liens, judgments, and medical bills.
• The focus on trending data and payment history can benefit those who have been consistent in making their rent and utility payments.

Preparing for the Future

To take advantage of these new credit scoring systems, consider the following steps:

• Maintain a low credit card utilization rate (below 10%).
• Report your rental and utility payment history to boost your credit profile.
• Seek manual underwriting if you have a limited credit history, as the new scoring models may not fully capture your creditworthiness.

Remember, these changes are designed to benefit a wider range of borrowers, making it easier to achieve your real estate goals. As a Credit Specialist, I'm here to guide you through this evolving landscape and help you navigate the path to homeownership.
