Hello Everyone,

My name is Ken and I am a new realestate investor with a small company, located in Portland,Oregon. I just started investing in realestate and learned my first lesson. I purchased to many homes all at ounce and get to much new credit all at ounce. Therefore, my FICO score dropped from around a 700 to below a 620. I need to bring my FICO score up so we can move forward with our projects and I can't get a loan to clean-up my credit because my FICO is to low. It's kinda a catch 22.....not mad about the situation, just looking for a positive solution and/or any advise.

Thank You,

Ken

Ken,

Soundslike the problem is just that the accounts are too new, and you probably had a lot of enquiries while shopping for credit which is also likely a major factor affecting your score.

I have had client with 10 plus mortgages on their credit and had over 720 scores, so itīs not the amount of debt its self in this case.

Perhaps you just need to give it a good 90 days or so without any inquiries on your credit and let the mortgages reflect a longer payment history, and your score should start bouncing back.

Not sure what type of loan you are looking for, but there are programs for those under a 620 score. But probably not if you are looking for high LTV investor financing.
