LESS THAN 5%*Low down payment programs can be more expensive because they may require mogage insurance or a higher interest rate. Look closely at your total fees, interest rate, and monthly payment when comparing options.Ask about loan programs such as:• Conventional & FHA loans that may oer low down payment options.• VA, which oers a zero down payment option for qualifying borrowers.• USDA, which oers a similar zero down payment program for eligible borrowers in rural areas.5%-19%*You may have to pay higher interest rates or fees. Lenders require private mogage insurance (PMI). PMI is an insurance policy that allows you to make a lower down payment by insuring the lender against loss if you fail to pay your mogage.20%+*A higher down payment likely provides the lowest rates and most options. However, think twice if the down payment drains all your savings because a lower rate doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right loan for you.

PAYMENT HISTORY = 35%In the calculation of your FICO credit score, no factor is more impoant than your payment histo. That histo is comprised of many complex components, but ultimately, expes say, it’s prey simple: pay your bills on time, eve time.TOTAL DEBT = 30%If you want to earn a good score, you’ll need to pay aention to your amounts owed–the second most impoant factor used to calculate a borrower’s FICO score.YEARS OF CREDIT HISTORY = 15%It may not be the most impoant factor, but if you don’t have a long credit histo, you can probably forget ever having a peect score. Plus, without at least some length of credit histo, you won’t have a score at all.NEW CREDIT = 10%Taking on too much new credit too quickly can hu your FICO credit score. However, adding ‘new credit’ to an old, troubled account may actually help your score. Confused? Welcome to the complex world of the FICO credit score.TYPES OF CREDIT = 10%Want good credit? Responsible use of a single loan can get you there. But if you want a top credit score–the kind that gets you the best rates, the highest limits and the sweetest deals–you’re going to have to mix it up a bit.CREDIT SCORE GAUGE<600Needs Work600-680Average680-740Good740+ExcellentTHE FIVE COMPONENTS OF YOURFICO SCORE16
