Lenders look at your credit report every time you apply for credit, but many people don't know what their credit score is or how the score is calculated.

What Is A Credit Report?
A credit report is a document that lenders use to assess a person's credit risk. It shows your payment history for the last seven years, the amount of money owed, the types of credit in use, the proportion of balances to credit limits, delinquencies and public records including bankruptcies and foreclosures.

spacer.gif   The lowdown on the new jumbo loan limits

The Economic Stimulus of 2008 did a lot of things to spur America's struggling economy: putting money into American's pockets in the form of rebate checks is the most noticeable, but the change in loan limits for FHA and traditional "conforming" loans has been harder to understand for many Americans.

It's not as black and white as a check from the government to you.

Congress has temporarily raised the conforming loan limit (the limit at which a jumbo loan is required) to 125% of each county's median home price or $729,750, whichever is less. For most counties, the limit will stay at $417,000 because 125% of the median home price is less than $417,000. The expanded loan limits affects 244 counties in 28 states.
