🏡 Homeownership 101: A 52-Week Series | Week 5 — Building Credit While Disputes Are Active Most people think disputing negative items means putting their credit on PAUSE. That's one of the biggest mistakes future homeowners make. In this week's webinar, we break down exactly how to keep building positive credit WHILE your disputes are being processed — and how that directly affects your mortgage approval. 📌 In this video you'll learn: ✅ How to add positive tradelines the RIGHT way ✅ The utilization strategy most buyers miss (keep it under 10%!) ✅ Common credit mistakes that hurt your chances of getting approved ✅ What lenders and underwriters actually look at ✅ The Texas homebuyer advantage — and why your credit score matters MORE here 🔑 Key Takeaway: Deleting bad credit helps, but ADDING good credit is what actually raises your score. 💡 Texas Homebuyer Tip: A 20–40 point credit score increase can change your interest rate — and that can save you hundreds per month, especially with Texas property taxes factored into your payment. 📅 This is Week 5 of our FREE 52-Week Homeownership Series. Whether you're 6 months or 2 years away from buying, this series is your roadmap. 👇 READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP?
