Well... mine isn't 'good', but wife's is Bad. Not for non payment, it's more based on percentage of usage. We share a credit card, which has a significant balance we are working on, but it isn't crazy. We are both on both vehicles. I'm solo on tractor, and she's solo on Honda SxS. What kills hers, is she had a couple smaller cards/store accounts, furniture store, lowes, ect, that don't have high limits, but so have 90% of the max as a balance.You have marginal credit or what? I could buy the Brooklyn Bridge with a cumulative credit score of 829. In fact, I get offers constantly, of which I delete them all. Only have 2 credit cards and both have huge credit limits on them I might add but they get paid off every month. The outfit that carries the mortgage on my one not paid off rental is always bugging me.. That gets deleted as well. Farm is paid off, 2 rentals are paid off, no car payments, only thing not paid off is the farm equipment and that is a write off anyway.
Also, the land lender has pretty stringent credit requirements.
This property was cheap enough, 6.7 acres for acres for like $65k. We rode it once, and we (wife decided No. Then I looked again, and they dropped price to like $59k. It was in same neighborhood, which has recently disbanded the HOA (legally it was abolished due to illegal actions, by state court), so same schools, ect. I had actually considered cashing out some retirement accounts and paying cash; Or they offered owner fianceing, but it was weird. They wanted a reasonable down payment, but then monthly payments based on price plus 20% total purchase price; ie, $70.8k if you pay off in 1 year or 10...
