Your Credit Score Lied to You and It Is Costing You Your Next DSCR Deal Ep 380

from Chasing Financial Freedom · host Ryan DeMent

The credit score on your phone right now is almost certainly not the score your mortgage lender is going to use, and that gap can cost you a better rate, a cleaner approval, or the entire deal. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the difference between consumer scores and mortgage FICO scores, explains the middle score rule most investors have never heard of, walks through the three active trade line requirements, and shares a real investor story where 60 points disappeared during a renovation and almost killed a $70,000 cash-out refinance. Come in prepared with the right number, or you are not coming in at all. If it does not hit 1.25, it is not a deal. It is a donation.
