Be Sure To Get Your Credit Score Before You Shop For a House
Most lenders consider people with a score of over 650 to be prime borrowers, meaning  they will most likely be approved at favorable rates.

Homes To Avoid

Backed up to a street with lots of traffic.  You will hear it at night.
The biggest, most expensive house on the block.
Avoid any home that you did not have a home inspection company view.
Remember, two bedroom two bath homes are harder to sell than 3 bedroom two bath homes.
