Healthy Credit: How To Get It And Keep It That Way!

Scott Swinford is a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist with Trust Financial, Inc. In Hebron, Indiana, and the host of "Your Credit, Your Life, Your Home" heard Saturday mornings at 10:30 on WIMS radio in Michigan City. Scott has devoted many, many hours to research on credit and credit-related issues. This is to help his clients understand what they need to do to have healthy credit and be eligible for the best rates and programs available. Scott will explain what a credit score is, why it's important, and what you can do to increase it. This will benefit you personally, and in your business, especially if you are doing lease options or land contracts and want to help the buyer get approved for a mortgage at the end of the contract.

Jim Hogle is the Executive Director for US Consumer Credit Restoration Association. USCCRA is a credit restoration association that has set itself apart from other credit repair companies, as they are able to erase bad credit legally and help rebuild positive credit. If you are turning down applicants due to credit issues, this may be a way to save the deals and have your tenants love you. Jim will explain the exciting concepts of this virtually untapped niche and how you can benefit.
