KNOW WHAT GOES INTO YOUR CREDIT SCORE You’re probably well aware of how important your credit score is. A good score grants you access to loans and favorable interest rates for a mortgage, and opens up many different possibilities for a healthy financial future.

But do you know how your credit score is determined? Be aware of the factors used in credit-scoring models so you can work towards achieving a higher credit score, and therefore a better interest rate from your lender. Here are some of the top factors:

ON-TIME PAYMENT PERCENTAGE

HARD INQUIRIES

This is the percentage of payments you’ve made on time during your credit history.

This plays a big role in determining your creditworthiness, so just a couple of late payments could significantly impact your score for the worse. An easy way to avoid late payments? Set up automatic bill pay or create calendar reminders for bill due dates.

When you apply for a credit card, mortgage or auto loan, a hard credit inquiry is initiated on your credit report. One hard inquiry will usually have little impact, but multiple inquiries can have a larger impact. A soft inquiry is when you check your rate to see what you qualify for. If you’re unsure, check with your potential creditor or lender before applying to see if they will do a hard or soft pull.

CREDIT CARD UTILIZATION This is a percentage that is calculated by taking the total of your credit card balances and dividing that number by your total credit card limits. This will show creditors how much of your total available credit you are already using. The lower your credit card utilization, the higher your credit score.

TOTAL ACCOUNTS Consumers with more accounts (or more lines of credit) often have higher credit scores because it indicates that more lenders are willing to give them credit. Having a good mix of different types of credit is good for overall credit health as well. But be prudent: Only apply for credit you actually need.

AVERAGE AGE OF OPEN CREDIT LINES The longer your credit history and the older your accounts the better. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep older cards open and active, and to start applying for credit at a young age.

DEROGATORY MARKS Derogatory marks are negative items on your credit report like collections, tax liens or bankruptcy. These records can stay on your credit report for 7 to 10 years. If you have one on your credit report, it can show a lender that you may have mismanaged your credit in the past. The best way to overcome derogatory marks is to start rebuilding healthy credit again. This will gradually weigh in your favor.

RETIRING? d n o y e b THINK THE BEACH Starting to think about where your post-career phase of life might take you?

A lot of people look at warm weather locations like Florida or Myrtle Beach, S.C., where they can play golf or be near the beach. But what if a house on the golf course or a beach community isn’t what comes to mind when you think about retirement? Well, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

With about 4 million baby boomers retiring each year, it’s no surprise that the location options are expanding. While warm weather states such as Florida, Arizona, Texas and Georgia are still top choices, more and more of today’s retirees are opting for hardier climates - with states like Colorado, Pennsylvania and Maine making Forbes’ 2017 list of best places to retire.

Also growing in popularity are urban locations, as many retirees are choosing to stay in the city they’ve lived in for years or choosing to downsize by moving to an apartment in an urban center. Cities offer high walkability scores, boundless options for entertainment and culture, plenty of restaurants to go out to eat at or order out from, and quick access to affordable public transportation and plenty of quality healthcare.

If city life is your option for retirement, do your research and talk to local real estate professionals to rate any city you’re considering on the following factors: AFFORDABILITY SAFETY CONVENIENCE AGING-FRIENDLY HOUSING OPTIONS ACCESS AND SAFETY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CULTURAL OFFERINGS

Of course, pedestrian-friendly streets and a strong local economy are important as well.

Some cites that meet these criteria are also in warmer locals, such as Florida cities Tampa, Orlando, and Miami. Scottsdale, AZ; Austin, TX; Atlanta, GA; and Denver, CO are also attractive choices. So retirees are able to live in a friendly climate, while also having all of the convenience that city life offers.

Remember, city life can be within your reach, no matter what your age. Consult The Real Estate Book in the locations you’re LQWHUHVWHG LQ OLYLQJ WR ̧QG WKH SHUIHFW SODFH to spend your golden years.
