‼️‼️‼️Here is the gameplan for a strong credit profile with an “EXCELLENT” (usually 750+) credit rating so you get the best rates and approvals:🔑🔑🔑
To have an Excellent Credit Rating (750+ score):
You want to have 2 things:
1. 0 BAD accounts (derogatory, delinquent, collection, etc. ) (35% of score) and …
2. 5+ GOOD active credit accounts structured as follows…
-at least one active credit card and one active loan (10% of score)
-below 7% utilization on your credit cards by the statement/closing date (30% of score)
-average age 5 years or more (15% of score)
-no more than 3 inquiries (10% of score)
1️⃣Make sure you have nothing negative on your profile like late payments missed, payments medical bills, chargeoffs, etc. You can dispute yourself or use my credit repair process to dispute all of your items to have them removed. Either way make sure you have ZERO negatives.
2️⃣Make sure you have at least 5 active credit accounts reporting on your profile. At least one of them needs to be a credit card and at least one of them needs to be a loan. There are different credit builder programs you can use to get each without having to get a car loan or anything major.
3️⃣ Make sure that credit card balance is 1-7% or less of your total limit on your statement date.
4️⃣ You want the average age of those accounts to be at least five years old so make sure you keep those credit cards paid and open. Your greatest age will come from your credit cards usually.
5️⃣Make sure you don’t have any more than two or three inquiries within a short period of time.
So you want to have zero negatives, five active accounts, credit cards and loans with at least one of each, average age 5 years, 9% or less utilization on that credit card, and no more than two or three inquiries in a short amount of time. For a mortgage profile you need to have zero negative and only need three active accounts, credit cards and loans with at least one of each, and the age only needs to be at least a year old with most lenders.
