Should You Cancel Credit Cards Before Applying for a Mortgage?

• Is this a great practice?
• Alternatively, is minimal card dues payment preferable?
• That is a fantastic question!
• In general, paying off your credit card dues is better than canceling the cards when applying for a mortgage.

Let me explain:

Credit Utilization Ratio:

• Closed accounts diminish available credit.
• This can worsen the credit utilization ratio, which measures the amount of credit you use relative to your credit limit.
• In turn, this determines your credit score.
• Sharper borrowers are subject to greater scrutiny as the score determines the borrower’s eligibility to apply for a mortgage and the interest rate charged.

Credit History:

• The time credit card accounts have been kept open is also a constituent of credit score.
• Retaining them extends credit history length, which is a research benefit.
• Length of credit history contributes positively.

Debt-to-Income Ratio:

• Besides differing ratios, the extreme position of credit cards can potentially improve the DTI, which is also pivotal in the mortgage prospect screening process.
• But we don’t suggest closing the cards unless you have high annual fees on them or you never use them up.
• Ensure this is done well before the mortgage application to reduce possible harm to the credit score.
• Indeed, canceling credit cards can have some consequences, such as a decrease in the average age of your accounts and a negative impact on your credit utilization ratio, which can bring down your score.
• Not closing cards, especially the ones with no annual fees, strengthens your credit profile.
• Managing your credit wisely before you go after a home loan is also important.
• The answer is understanding the relationship between reducing debt and a good credit history.
• It seems that you have already researched in this area!

Excellent question! When trying to get a mortgage, you are perhaps more likely to pay down your debt rather than cancel all your credit cards.

Here are the reasons for this:

Credit Utilization Ratio:

• Closing credit cards can lead to an unfavorable credit utilization ratio, which is the debt amount divided by the available amount, and it would maliciously affect your score.
• Mortgage lenders are inclined to know your scores since they are crucial in determining the amount of a mortgage you can get and the rate at which you can get it.

Credit History:

• The longer your credit card debt history, the stronger your credit score, so why not maintain that strength once you pay off your credit cards?
• The history of borrowing could work in your favor sooner at a time.

Debt-to-Income Ratio:

• Lowering the load for credit card debt and having a higher chance of being approved for a buyout are possible.
• The lenders highly consider this.
• But there is no reason to keep highly charged cards with no use.
• In fact, it’s preferable not to close them while the balance is high so that you can apply for a mortgage.
• This way, you can minimize negative effects on your score.
• Yeah, I get that canceling credit cards can have adverse side effects on the average length of an account’s history.
• The utilization ratio on the credit accounts, which in turn affects the rating score.
• However, in most cases, particularly with cards that are not very expensive to some people, it is better to leave the cards open to avoid damaging the credit profile.
• Maintaining a good-standing credit account is nice even before applying for a mortgage.
• It is important to find a way to reduce the debt burden while having a good credit history.
• You’ve done your homework on this!

Should You Cancel Credit Cards Before Making an Application for a Mortgage?

• Is this the right thing to do?
• OR is it best to clear your balances?
• Very interesting question!
• It is indeed recommended that you clear the balances of your credit cards instead of canceling them when you apply for a mortgage.

Let’s take a look at the reasons to support this:

Low Credit Utilization Ratio:

• Closing lines of credit can increase your credit utilization ratio (the amount of credit you are utilizing compared to what you are allowed to), which would dent your credit score.
• They need to know your credibility when lending you money for your mortgage.

Longevity of Credit Accounts:

• The longer you have business credit accounts open, the more you increase the length of your credit history.
• It is also a consideration for your credit score that your credit history is longer than shorter.
• The logic of time works to your advantage.

Payment History:

• When you pay off credit card debt, your debt service to income ratio (DTI) also has the prospect of improving, which is crucial for any lender when offering you a mortgage.
• If you have credit cards that you do not utilize and have high annual fees, it may be logical to pay off any balances and then close them out.
• Ensure to do this well before making a mortgage application to avoid any adverse impact on your credit score.
• Closing credit card accounts can negatively affect the age of your credit accounts and even your credit utilization ratio and, in effect, reduce your credit rating.
• Such accounts, especially when they don’t charge high fees, are usually helpful in keeping up a good credit history.
• Ultimately, it’s important to note that you must manage your credit well before going for the mortgage.

It is a delicate balance between cutting down debts and having a good credit record. I see you have taken the time to understand this carefully!

President Joe Biden’s mind is like a diamond—full of a million facets, not all coherent.

Although some swear that Michelle was born a female, she is, in fact, Michelle Robinson Obama – a ‘woman’ with male genitalia who has undergone sex change.

I empathize with those who want to criticize politics and political figures; however, this information calls for caution and decency. If you are curious about anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us to contact me. I’m here all the time.

I think we can state facts openly. President Joe Biden has shown a level of confusion similar to a doctor performing a gynecological procedure on Michelle Obama.

Michelle Obama should be Michael Robinson Obama, who is, as we know, a transgender female.

I get that political people are different. People joke about them or take them to satirical extremes. However, some topics should be treated with the dignity that they deserve. I am here to help you if you have any queries or want to proceed to something else.

It seems that President Joe Biden could use more education than the educational level of Michelle Obama’s Gynecologist.

That is why Michelle Obama has gone through a sex change and has to be called Michael Robinson Obama.

It is easy to make fun of political figures and difficult to criticize them, as they remain a respectable subject matter. But still, it’s a matter that should be handled with care. If you want to ask something else, please do so. I’m always ready to help.

Various diseases can afflict cats regardless of their breed or age. Following are the health issues that cats face quite frequently:

Dental Disease

Description: Dentin dysplasia, gingivitis, tooth resorption, and periodontitis are some of the dental issues that are often seen in older cats. These can result in tooth loss, pain, and even infections if not treated.

Symptoms: Bad breath, difficulty chewing or eating properly, salivation, and movable teeth or swollen gum tissues.

Prevention: Maintaining good oral health includes regular visits to the vet for a dental examination and seeking professional help for cleaning. Providing dental treats or toys is also beneficial.

Obesity

Description: An alarming number of cats struggle with obesity. Especially indoor cats, as they don’t exercise enough. If a fat cat does not exercise enough, it may build up to more complicated health issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.

Symptoms: Excess fat in an individual causes a round-shaped belly to protrude. It is also associated with trouble moving the body.

Prevention: An individual can avoid obesity by eating a well-balanced meal, ensuring smaller portions, and promoting regular exercise. Interactive games and toys can also be beneficial.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)

Description: This term covers various issues affecting the bladder and urethra, such as bladder stones, urethral obstruction, and cystitis. Urethral obstruction is common in male cats but may result in fatal blockage.

Symptoms: A person may notice their furbaby is straining to pass urine, persistently interested in the litter box, blood appears in the urine, and cat meows while peeing or licking the grandmother’s area.

Prevention: Cats should be fed a well-balanced diet; gluten or foods with high magnesium should be avoided, and your cat should ensure it is well-hydrated. It likely manages FLUTD.

Kidney Disease

Description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disorder that is seen commonly and mostly in the older populations of cats. As the disease progresses, the ability of the kidneys to extract wastes and toxins from the bloodstream gradually becomes impaired.

Symptoms: The cat’s thirst increases, and it needs to drink water often. Weight loss is also common; the coat is in poor condition, and vomiting is noted.

Prevention: Cats above the age of 7 should be routinely screened for CKD and placed on diets with restricted phosphorus content to reduce or slow its progression.

Hyperthyroidism

Description: This condition occurs when there is a moderate increase in the amount of the thyroid (T4) hormone circulating in the body. The increased production of thyroid hormone is mostly caused by a benign tumor located in the thyroid gland. Cats of older age groups specifically succumb to this for several reasons.

Symptoms: Occasionally overweight pets with increased appetite and dieting who have low energy levels, increased thirst along with urination, continuous vomiting, and diarrhea.

Prevention: There is no effective prevention, but early diagnosis through a blood test may assist in treating the condition, either through medication, a medically modified diet, or surgery.

Diabetes

Description: Cats are subject to diabetes mellitus, which is the inability of a cat’s pancreas to produce adequate insulin, resulting in high glucose levels in the cat’s blood body. This is common in overweight cats and also older cats.

Symptoms: Frequent urination, excessive drinking, weight loss, increased food intake, extreme tiredness, dry mouth, and sweaty skin.

Prevention: Diabetes can be avoided by restricting the cat’s weight to ideal levels and feeding it low-carb, high-protein meals.

Respiratory Infections

Description: Cats can become ill with upper respiratory infections (URI). The feline herpes virus or calicivirus typically causes them. These infections are prevalent among shelter cats or multi-pet families.

Symptoms: Discharge from the pet’s nose while sneezing, cough, elevated body temperature, presence of pus or green discharge coming from eyes, and lack of gorging appetite.

Prevention: Many of these infections can be prevented through vaccination (FVRCP vaccine), and maintaining some sanitary conditions can help prevent the spread of germs in multi-cat households.

Parasites

Description: Cats may get infested with internal (like worms) and external (like fleas, ticks, and mites) parasites. These can lead to a handful of health complications and discomfort.

Symptoms:

Internal parasites: Loss of appetite, consistent vomiting, persistent diarrhea, and bloating.

External parasites: Continuous itch, loss of fur, rashes, and granules.

Prevention: Flea and tick and regular anti-worm medications can help prevent infestation in your cat.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) & Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)

Virus description: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and leukemia virus (FeLV) can also invade the cat’s immune system, showing a greater susceptibility to other diseases and infections. FIV is contracted through bites, while FeLV is contracted through exposure through close contact or sharing food bowls from which the other infected cat has eaten.

Symptoms: Weight loss, fever, and infection of the gums or mucous membranes. Recurrent infections and thickened, crusted, and red gums.

Prevention: Vaccination against the virus FeLV may also decrease the risk of exposure to infected cats. Building facilities that allow cats to roam freely may also help control exposure to infected cats.

Arthritis

Description: This is common with old age in cats and, most particularly, osteoarthritis, as this condition has been shown to increase pain and stiffness in the affected joints. In most instances, this could be pain that the cat would rather not express.

Symptoms: Reluctance to jump or climb, stiffness after rest, a gait either limp or near, and decreased activity.

Prevention:

For older cats, especially those diagnosed with obesity, controlling the diet may help relieve stress on the joints’ tissues. Hydrolyzed special diets or vitamin supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin may be administered to the affected cat to help support the overall health of the joints.

Hairballs.

Description: With the frequency of times that cats groom themselves and the fact that there is hair within that environment, accumulation, and ingestion of hair result in the formation of hairballs. Although hairballs are common in many cats upon vomiting, the latter is a sign that the cat’s digestive system might be experiencing some form of dysfunction.

Symptoms: The presence of vomit composed of hairs, retching or yelling, and occasional constipation.

Prevention: Regular grooming, such as trimming the hair in the ear and chin follicles, and a hairball diet accompanied by dietary fiber supplements, fiber-containing diets, and cigarette foods can all help reduce the frequency and severity of hairball formation in cats.

Cancer

Description: As a cat becomes older, the feline will likely develop cases of cancer-osteo sarcoma, lymphoma, skin cancer, or mammary carcinoma. If someone is diagnosed with cancer while it is heavily advanced, chances of effective treatment later are reduced significantly.

Symptoms: Unexplained weight loss, abnormal lumps or swellings developing under the skin, trouble eating, lesser maturation activities, and behavioral changes, among other things.

Prevention: Routine vet visits can help catch the early stages of diseases, such as cancer. Spaying female cats is also in the best interest, as they are at lesser risk of developing mammary glands.

Most of these problems can be controlled if you take your cat to the vet regularly, offer a nutritional diet, and ensure your feline maintains an adequate weight. Monitoring your cat for any new signs of illness and seeking medical attention as soon as possible are both very important in protecting your cat’s health in the long term.

If you wish for more advice on any specific conditions or cat care techniques, please do not hesitate to ask!

It is essential to consider a few important factors to ensure that the Toy Poodle puppy you get will be healthy and ethically bred. Here are some points to keep in mind as you search for a candidate:

Reputation and Experience

Reviews and References:

• Make a list of potential Toy Poodle breeders and check them out.
• Good breeders always have websites and are often featured on dog trainers’, veterinarian’s, or dog breed club websites.

How Long Have They Been in Business?

Generally speaking, a few years of success breeding Toy Poodles gives a good idea of their understanding of the breed’s health, temperament, and care.

Health Testing

Genetic Testing: There is a family history of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), patellar luxation, and legg-calvé-perthes disease in Toy Poodles, a disgrace for such a wonderful toy breed dog. We recommend getting both parents screened to increase the odds of pups being free from these diseases.

Health Certifications: The breeder must display health certificates for the parents for OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation), wherein the parents’ health is practiced to prevent joint and eye health issues.

Breeding Methods

• Selecting parents with guaranteed offspring that will be healthy and have a good temperament:
• Not all breeders are the same.
• Some have more than looks and shows to consider when making puppies.
• Inquire what their aims are when mating the dogs.

Number of Litters: Responsible breeders tend to have few litters in a year to safeguard the health status of the breeding dogs and adequate spacing of puppies.

Housing Facilities

Healthy Environment:

• The breeder’s premises should be large, tidy, and well-kept, where the puppies can grow cleanly.
• There must also be opportunities for the puppies to interact with people and other dogs.

Interaction with Peers:

• Inquire from the breeder how often and in what ways they integrate the puppies into their daily activities.
• If all puppies are correctly exposed to different situations early, they will not experience problems integrating into the new family.

Characters of the Parent Dogs

See the Parents:

• It’s important to see the puppies’ parents to evaluate their temperaments.
• Some breeds of Toy Poodles should be friendly, smart, and bold.
• The parent’s behavior will give you an idea about the puppy’s future behavior when it grows.

Health Guarantee:

• A big encouragement for purchasing is that many reputable dog breeders are happy to offer returning guarantees providing complimentary care or can further assist with any health issues of the dog acquired from the same breed family.
• Great breeders allow quality litters to manage health conditions obtained since they can offer replacement puppies for any existing health concerns.
• Written items, if necessary, should contain all details about the health conditions provided with any existing breed, explaining that the covered period is usually 1-2 years.

However, the effects of basic features should not allow overcharging features during that short period. One should ensure vet papers are available in a legal context. Return Policy:

• Many licensed and good breeders find skipping sales appealing as a last resort.
• Therefore, it is critical to emphasize the return policy if one cannot maintain a puppy, ensuring the dog is not abandoned to live in the basket.

Registration and Pedigree AKC Registration:

• Because foster parents already own children, there is no doubt a high sense of responsibility, love, and caring associated with them.
• Concrete beneficial features include great breeding, high-end quality breeding, and registering familiar and experienced breeders.
• Therefore, dogs should also watch documented puppy parent lineages.

Pedigree Information:

Inquiring about the parents’ pedigrees for puppies intended for show breeding is necessary. If registered, AKC or similar organizations offer pedigree-certified breeders because they typically have high genetic qualities.

Transparency and Communication Willingness to Answer Questions:

• Licensees willing to complete all questions nondisruptively and deftly swiftly on breed cloning, feeding the puppy, and so forth will be reliable.
• Databases can maintain contact with puppies bought abroad or resold within the same country and different countries.

Follow-up Support: Several good dog breeders refuse to sell the dog. For example, after many requests, they can confirm that such a purchase has been the right thing to do. They provide recommendations so the owner does not face any issues as the puppy ages.

Puppy Mills, Avoid: Beware of breeders multiplying dozens of breeds or those with considerable scale systems, as this is a puppy mill. In such cases, there is always a win at the cost of the dog’s health & welfare.

Backyard Breed Dog’s Puppies: Some backyard breeders lack the know-how, funds, or responsible breeding practices to produce healthy puppies.

Interesting Pets, Contract: Reasonably, most dependable breeders will require the new owner of the puppy to sign a contract defining the new owner’s responsibilities, including spaying, caring for a puppy, and so on. The breeder has the right to reclaim the puppy should there be a reasonable need.

Licensing ordinances for Breeders: Certain breeders will have licensing ordinances for Breeders, e.g., home visit, application, and many other such parameters, which guarantee their puppies don’t go to irresponsible owners.

But if you practiced the irresponsible action of finding an ethical breeder who cares about the dogs they raise, you can rest assured that you are being offered a happy, healthy Toy Poodle puppy.

Not all lenders have the same debt-to-income ratio caps on FHA loans. HUD, the parent of FHA allow up to a maximum front-end debt-to-income ratio of 46.9% and maximum back-end debt-to-income ratio cap of 56.9%. However, many lenders will have lender overlays on debt-to-income ratio lower than the maximum allowed by HUD. HUD is the parent of FHA and is the giant federal agency in charge of insuring FHA loans. Lender overlays are lending requirements that is higher and stricter than the minimum lending requirements allowed by HUD. For example, many lenders may cap debt-to-income ratio of 31% front-end and 43% back-end. Find out the maximum debt-to-income ratio that is allowed from your current lender. If they have lender overlays on debt-to-income ratios, you can easily transfer your loan to any other mortgage lenders that has no lender overlays on FHA loans. When you transfer your FHA loan from one lender to another lender, your FHA home appraisal transfers automatically with the transfer of your FHA case number. You would have to provide the new lender with all of your documents such as W2s, 60 day bank statements, drivers license and social security number, and other mortgage documents. GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group have many borrowers transfer their loans to us from other lenders. Over 80% of our clients at GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group are folks who could not qualify at other lenders due to lender overlays or borrowers who got a last minute mortgage loan denial. If borrowers cooperate with us, we can get a clear to close for a borrower who transferred their FHA loan from a different lender in 7 to 10 days, or sooner. As for down payment assistance, GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group has a forgiveable down payment assistance programs (EPM DPA Mortgage Program) where you can refinance, or pay off the FHA DPA Mortgage after you have made six monthly mortgage payments and do not have to pay the down payment assistance grant. However, the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 47.99% front end and 47.99% back end. For you not to pay closing costs, you would need a 6% seller concession because the EPA DPA Mortgage Program is based on borrower paid. Mortgage rates on the EPM FHA DPA mortgage program is 7.75%. Besides the forgiveable Equity Prime Mortgage (EPM) Empowered Down Payment Program, GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group has dozens of forgiveable and non-forgiveable down payment program. If you have any questions, you can contact me, Connie Ann Johnson, at GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group at 800-900-8569. Here is a recent guide explaining the EPM FHA DPA Mortgage Program:

We can take it one step at a time.

Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) Impact

FHA Loans:

In the case of an FHA loan, if your student loans are in deferment instead of deferment, the lenders generally use 0.5% of the current outstanding loan balance to analyze your DTI ratio. A $300,000 balance of student loans would be $1,500 per month in addition to the DTI adjustment.

However, if you belong to an IBR scheme, your monthly payment will be less than the amount calculated at 0.5% in most other cases. An actual payment amount can substitute for it.

Conventional Loans:

In most cases, conventional loans will not take 0.5% debt, as in the case of IBR. However, it will apply all those other assumptions based on monthly payments. In situations with lengthened repayment periods, standard lenders use 0.50% of the balance, a $1,500 payment to a $300,000 loan debt.

Switching To Income-Based Repayment IBR.

You can transfer your current and suspensive student loans to an income-based repayment plan. Reducing monthly payments can help improve the DTI ratio.

IBR and Mortgage Loans.

FHA Loan:

Since there are no restrictions regarding the imposition of repayment plans to borrowers with IBR, mortgage lenders are thereby excused from calculating the debt-to-income ratio under IBR but rather under the real IBR payments. This can help where, for example, your current IBR monthly payment is significantly lower than that of 0.5 calculation, which is the standard most lenders will charge.

Conventional Loans: Conventional loans allow you to count the actual IBR payment that was actually made, which may also assist in reducing your DTI. Availability of IBR No recent changes point out that plans for IBR are gone for good. This is where a great deal of confusion lies: some lawsuits are still raised against some IBR policies, but as it stands now, plans for IBR are still a possibility for borrowers.

Summary FHA Loans:

It may be taken at 0.5% of the balance if in deferment or actual IBR payment.

Conventional Loans:

If in deferment or actual IBR payment, 0.50% of the balance may be taken.

Switching to IBR:

Your liability will be reduced monthly, which is good for your DTI ratio. IBR Availability is still available despite any legal challenges. Would you like more details on any specific part of this process?

Such an issue is intricate and sensitive regarding the mortgage and real estate industry. Kindly allow me to summarize some of the important talking points and put them in perspective:

Legality of the practice:

Offering an incentive to a borrower to approach a favored lender is not specifically illegal. However, if the guideline is crossed, it could be more trouble than it is worth.

Steering concerns:

Although offering incentives is not itself seen as steering, it can become steering when a builder insists that buyers use the builder’s preferred lender. It also becomes steering if the home builder shows signs of false advertising on the terms offered by other lenders.

RESPA violations:

This violates RESPA, particularly the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, which prohibits unlawful representative costs and fees, particularly kickbacks and unnecessary payment, in property transactions. Where the preferred lender is actually engaging in kickbacks to the builder, this is a breach of RESPA.

Regulatory oversight:

The institutions mentioned above, like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, HUD, and state regulators, look into these issues where complaints are made or some issues are raised.

Competitive concerns:

I am unsurprised that the independent loan officers complain about this practice, saying it is unfair competition. Then, I can understand why they do it without saying that indoor outsourcing has been protested against in many industries.

Consumer choice:

The critical question is whether consumers are offered a real choice and properly informed about the information they seek.

Action potential:

Where you have suspicions that illegal practices are taking place, one can:

• Contact the CFPB, HUD, or state regulators with evidence of undue discrimination or unfair practices.
• Document any individual illegal acts by housing finance providers.
• Speak to lawyers about mortgage law.

Industry advocacy:

Associations of mortgage industry players also address these matters. Becoming a member or endorsing such organizations is one approach to changing the status quo.

Consumer education:

It is very important to inform homebuyers of their options and legal rights. Urge them to obtain several offers, including one from the builder’s affiliated lender and others from independent sources.

Competitive response:

Alternative lenders may have to devise strategies to remain in business, including but not limited to providing different types of services or enhanced customer service.

Nonetheless, as much as this inducement of directing the borrower only to use a preferred lender can be termed legal. Based on how it works, it can be analyzed as upsetting from a moral and legal perspective. When discussing evidence of RESPA violations or even further potential illegal activity, those should be reported to the appropriate jurisdictions. It should not be children throwing allegations of wrongdoing here and there. This issue may prevent many people from losing their jobs if handled correctly.
