Does Your Personal Credit Score Matter?

Contrary to popular belief, your personal credit score IS important when you’re a real estate investor! For far too long Real Estate Gurus have preached to the masses that credit scores are not important. Why has this myth prevailed? To put it very simply – because people are stupid enough to believe them!

Who wants to hear that your credit matters? NO ONE!  So the Gurus came up with the slogan “Credit doesn’t matter” in order to sell their products. And guess what? It worked!

Real Estate Gurus have sold billions of dollars of products by getting people to buy into that line of reasoning because they can produce a small number of cases where someone didn’t need an credit score in order to get a deal done.

Well guess what? It’s a new ballgame. The 70s, 80s, 90s and roaring years of the early 2000s are gone. We are now in the recession of 2008-2011 and credit is important.

That being said, what if your credit stinks? Does this take you out of the running? Not necessarily.  With the right education and guidance you can overcome this problem. We’ve taken people from the depths of the credit cellar to the top of the rung in a short period of time.
