  Speaker 2: Square handle the back end so you can keep pushing
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: your vision forward.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: The first thing is you gotta check your credit. Right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you're gonna you're gonna you're trying to buy a house.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: You're trying to uh, you know, whether it's a multi family,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: whether the case is a living one, doesn't really matter, right,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I think where what a lot of people forget to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: do is check their credit before they apply with Matt,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: before they apply with Kevin. And what you need to
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: do is you need to be able to know what's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: on your credit report. Guess what They're gonna ask you, Hey,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: what is this And if you say I don't know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: it's like, come on, like, how serious are you with
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: your credit? If you're applying for a three hundred thousand
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: dollars mortgage. You're five hundred thousand dollars mortgage and you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: don't even you have me check your credit in six months?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Seven months, you know what I mean? So you have
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to make sure you check your credit report. I would
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: say every month, right, and at a bare minimum. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna apply with Matt, check it every week,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: check it every day, like it's one of those things.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I wake up in the morning, I'm checking my credit
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: first thing, you know what I mean. So you want
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: to check your credit report because you have to know
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: what's on there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Am I own time? Am I late?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: What's going on? What's the deal with my credit? Because,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: like I said, when Matt runs your credit report and
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he asks you, hey, what's this bill? What's that bill?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Don't you think it's a little bit better to have
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: a little bit of information for him for when he
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: runs your credit or he might not. You might go
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: out and say, hey, Matt, listen, don't run my credit yet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I have these things on here, so let's save that inquiry.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: So the biggest thing is is credit data. Credit data
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: is more important than any credit score, right because credit
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: data is what drives the credit score. So you could
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: have a seven to fifty credit score with a repossession
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: and a charge off right, and you can have a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: six to fifty credit score with no lay payments. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: these are the five categories. Usually see people breaking down
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: in percentages thirty five percent, thirty percent, you know, fifteen,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ten to ten. But when you look at how many
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: points right, your credit score ranges from three hundred to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: eight fifty. Payment history alone one hundred and ninety two
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: point five points. The data is payment history. Your data
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: is what drives the credit score. So if you're late
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: one time, two times, three times on multiple credit cards,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it'll drop your score. Like I had a client today
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: they were late. I called one of my clients today,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I said, hey, listen, you were late on your Capital
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: one card and it dropped his credit score sixty points.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: His monthly payment was fifteen dollars a month. Fifteen thousand
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: a month, dropped his credit score six dollars. Do whatever
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you can, guys, to have your stuff on all the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: pay It's the most important thing you can do with
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: your credit, especially if you're trying to get a mortgage.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Debt utilization one hundred and sixty five points. Your cards
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: are maxed out. Guess what, guys, your score is gonna tank.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Right. This was one of my problems a few years ago.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't really have anything negative, but all my credit
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: cards were maxed out, So that can easily take you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: from sevens to the fives very very quickly. All right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: time and file eighty two point five points. This is
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: pretty much why people buy trade lines, or why people
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: get put on as authorized users is because of their history.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It adds eighty two point five points, all right. Credit
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: mix fifty five points, pretty much easiest category. You have
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a mortgage, you have an all the loan and a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: credit card, you're gonna get all fifty five points, all right,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and inquiries of fifty five points, so you even notice.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Matt and Kevin have heard us all the time. Man,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: don't roll my credit. I don't want my score to drop.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: But then you have like late payments and collections. Those
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: affect your score more than an inquiry. So people are
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: always so cared about inquiries. And the most important thing
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: you have to understand about inquiries is the only affect
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you fifty five points, which is ten percent. But any
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: mortgage inquiries usually done within the thirty to forty five
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: day period only count as one. So if you got
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: your mortgage, your credit report ran by four different mortgage companies,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be four different inquiries if done
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: within the thirty to forty five day period, all right,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: So don't be don't get so scared when it comes
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to inquiries.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It tricks me out how people are more worried about
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: inquiries than lay payments. All right. So credit karma is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: another thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: A lot of people check credit carm every single day,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: not saying anything's wrong with it, but just don't use
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it as a source when it comes to getting a mortgage,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: all right, because when Matt checks your credit he's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: going to be going off of credit karma. Credit karma
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: only shows two credit reports, doesn't show all three, okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't provide experience. So you might tell Matt, hey,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I got a six' eighty on The equifax On, TransUnion
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: but guess what happens there's that collection or charge. Off
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: that's an, experience and you think you're. Good the reporting is.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Inaccurate our clients have a preferred credit monitor that we.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Use we like The IDENTITY iq only because it's cheap all,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: right it does provide all three.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And you can pretty much go with my fight, go
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you can go with. Experience you, know something that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Provides all three credit bureaus is what you want because
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: When matt runs your, credit you want to be able
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: to explain every single line item that's on your credit. Report,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Okay the next thing is is that when it comes
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: to your, credit, right and when it comes to buying
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the more getting approof for a. Mortgage one of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: biggest things that we see besides maxed out credit cards
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is lack of credit or no credit.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: History.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Right we deal with a lot of celebrities and a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: lot of people that deal with, Cash LIKE i don't
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: want to use THAT i got.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Cash you, KNOW i could buy that car.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Full, well guess what are you going to buy a
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: million dollar property housing?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: FULL i mean you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't if you, can you still, shouldn't, right use use
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the mortgage to leverage. It so these are some credit
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: cards right here that can help you with building credit
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: and typically with no increase or only one inquiry pre. Bureau,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Right so you have self. Lender self lender is one
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: of the easiest ways to build. Credit it's a savings
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: account that reports to your credit. Report so you pay
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like twenty five dollars a, month boom they. Reported paint
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: a credit card to your credit. Report pedal P E
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: t A L pedal credit. Card they're one of a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: new credit card that just came. Out they check, experience.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They do a pre.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Qualification they approve up to ten thousand dollars credit card
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: and you can use that credit card. Anywhere another. One
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: everybody's pretty familiar With Capital. One they will prequalify you
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and let you know if you are pre approved for
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a credit.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Card any local credit union is typically.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Good you know you have other ones LIKE, Dcu Navy Federal,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Pentagon Federal Credit. Union credit unions are a really good
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: place to build. Credit tradelines when it comes to mortgages
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: don't hold as much. Weight SO i would say when
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: it comes to, MORTGAGES i don't suggest to you buying a.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Tradeline try to do it on your own or have
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: a family member add you as an authorized user without
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a trade. Line, okay because remember building credit isn't is
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: more important than than than than what you, think because
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: you could have bad credit and still going to prove
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: for a. Mortgage but if you have no, credit there's no.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Chance and one of the most important things to understand
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: about building credit is it takes six months for a
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: trade line to be reporting in order to generate a
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Fight go. Score so let's say if you're brand, new fresh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: today you have nothing on your credit, report and you
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: add a credit, card it is typically gonna take six
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: months for a credit card reporting every single month in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: order for that Fight go score to really be.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Generated all, right current credit.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Cards one of the things that we see with a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: lot of, Clients LIKE i said, before max style, cards
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: don't don't try to just pay your credit cards down
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to thirty percent forty. Percent when it comes to a, Mortgage,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: listen if you can pay it down as much as
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you can pay it, down it's just gonna increase your borrowing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Power that's pretty much what it's gonna, do is gonna
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: eliminate those monthly payments that you have on the credit
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: cards and things like. That so pay it down as
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: much as you can see if you're eligible for a
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: limit increase without an, inquiry because then that's also gonna
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: raise your credit. Score so right, now your goal with
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: getting the mortgage is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Lowering your credit.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: SCORE i mean lowering your, debt increasing your credit, score
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and and and by paying down your debt and increasing
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: your credit, limits it's gonna do just, that all.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Right if they're.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Gonna, say, hey we're gonna run your credit for the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: inquiry for the credit limit, increase tell them not to do,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: it because you do want to try to limit any
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: inquiries up until the point of view getting approved for a.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Mortgage.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Okay and then, also do not use your credit cards
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: at all if you know you're going for a. Mortgage
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: so if you know you're going for a, mortgage don't

  Speaker 1: Program for about nine.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Months all, right, NOW i didn't want to just touch
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: on this right, quick because a lot of people have
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to understand that when it comes to business, credit it doesn't.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Report on your personal.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Credit Right so remember everything THAT i was saying about
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: maxing out your credit cards don't apply for.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Anything whatever the case.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Is if you have business credit, available you can max
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: it out all you, want it's not going to show.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Up so my problem WHEN i bought my house WAS
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: i didn't have any business, credit SO i really couldn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: use any credit. Cards you couldn't use any. Money but
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: now if you're using your business credit, cards you can
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: still do what you gotta do on a daily and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in a, sense you're not hiding the, money you're just
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: using it on a different means. Right and the other
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: thing that we've been telling a lot of our clients
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to do is, is if you have a car right
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: now on your personal credit and you have AN, llc
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: trade that car, in get it off of your personal,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: credit and get a car on your business because now
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: that car is also not going to show up on
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: your personal, credit once again increasing your borrowing.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Power so check it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Out imagine now you go To, matt zero credit card,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: debt no car, payments you show up your. Income he's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: going to be, like you know, what you can now
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: get approved of a maximum amount because you have no car,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: payment you have no credit card, debt you have. Nothing
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: so that's going to be the difference of you getting
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: approved maybe from two hundred two fifty three hundred.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: To five hundred six.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Hundred and if you have a, business that's where you
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: want everything to show because guess, what When matt runs your,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: credit he ain't checking your business. Credit when it comes
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to a, mortgage he's checking your personal. Credit so you
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: can have six seven eight cars on your business credit doesn't, Matter,
• 11:59
