how are you buying your house?

What do you mean how? Are you specifically asking about type of payment/financing or the overall searching/buying process?

What country are you in? I’m in the UK and I’ve started doing some comparisons with traditional vs Shariah compliant, and as much as I want to follow through with a Shariah compliant mortgage it looks so much riskier as the bank can end up owning your property so I’m thinking to go through with a traditional. You’re paying rent to the bank as a disguise for ‘interest’ and there are more restrictions when it comes to things like decorating, etc as you would need to get approval from the bank as they are seen to be the property owners. It’s a tricky balance. At the end of the day, Allah knows your intentions and knows best.

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
