What is the Proper Mix of Credit?

  • Cut up the credit cards, pay cash for everything, don't ever use financing! These are the instructions that some "financial gurus" give to their clients. 
  • That is great advice if you want to have a low score or no score at all. While this might be decent advise to live by when it comes to most purchases, when it's time to buy a home you're probably going to need to borrow HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. 
  • In order to maintain a great credit score and qualify with ease, you'll need to establish and maintain a healthy "mix" of credit. 
  • When you look at these accounts as tools instead of money, you can make the rules of the game work in your favor. 
  • In this quick video you'll learn about the proper Mix of Credit and how different types of accounts are vital to keeping a great credit score, which will allow you to make large purchases when necessary.

Mortgage Identity Fraud Growth

The Numbers:
  • $5.3 billion: the amount targeted by perpetrators via business email compromise in 2016 (source: FBI)
  • 480 percent: the year-over-year increase in wire fraud scams reported by title companies to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) in 2016
  • 2,370 percent: the increase in identified exposed losses to the most typical of wire fraud scams between January 2015 and December 2016
  • 50: the number of states in which attempted wire fraud has been reported (source: IC3 and American Land Title Association)
  • 131: the number of countries in which attempted wire fraud has been reported (source: IC3 and ALTA)
  • 103: the number of nations to which fraudulent transfers have been rerouted (source: IC3 and ALTA)


These are the reported cases.
Only 10 to 15 percent of fraud attempts are even reported.
It is necessary for the industry to recognize the scale of wire fraud, and the harm it brings.  
Stay aware, and be diligence to mitigate risk.
