Pulled scores today....

[webs0082]

My mortgage scores pulled today are EQ 718 / TU 698 / EX 685 so my mid score is 698. Is there a rate break at 700? Shoudl I wait to run my preapproval until I can get my mid score over 700? I have 2 cards reporting a small balance now, I'm hoping once once of those reports zero next week that will give me the 2 point bump to get over 700! The end is near......

If you are looking to go conventional, yes there is a price break. What size downpayment are you working with?

We have about 10% saved (a little over $30K saved and we are looking to spend around $300K) but are thinking we'll only put down about half that and keep the rest in savings. We'll play arouind with the numbers a little and see what works best. We may end up going FHA if it's a better deal for us.
