A low credit score can stand in the way of purchasing a home by making mortgage rates prohibitively high, or even simply unavailable to you. To make matters worse, most credit reports (nearly 80%) have mistakes on them. In fact, a 2004 study showed that nearly a quarter of all consumers had mista...

Today we'll finish up with the overview and discuss the implications of a short sale to the seller. Once the seller's lender accepts a buyer's purchase agr...
