We Closed!!!

Hi all...I've been a lurker here for about 18 months.  I had a bit of rebuilding to do and got a lot of bad stuff of my reports over the past 24 months or so.  But we closed on our FHA home loan yesterday.  I just want to say thank you to all those that provided valuable information here, even if you didn't know you were doing so.

YAY, congrats! I'd love to hear some DPs... I'm on the same journey. Trying to lower my utilization so that I can get my Morgage Fico up to 680 to apply for a FHA with my preferred lender or just 620 if desperate. My last late was 6mos ago, itching to pull the trigger but really nervous about the possibe loan rejection though the lender says my general profile "should" get me approved, of course this isn't guaranteed and based on the full credit pull and underwriting process.

Starting Score: 12/18/2019 EQ 601 | TU 614 | EX 596
Current Score after recent fall from grace: 02/8/2023 EQ 647 | TU 660 | EX 663
Goal Score: 780
