@Accenture4 My rate is 4.125% - could’ve done better but I still had a student loan balance. Put down $32K on a total price of $161.5K. The only major change I’ve made in 2 years is replacing the HVAC, which was older but still functional. All other appliances were new & there were nice updates [e.g., crown moulding] because it had been recently renovated by the seller.

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?

Hey guys! Thanks for joining!

I was doing my own investment research when I came across multiple financial management websites suggesting really bad mutual funds.

Current FD RD rate is between 5.5% to 6.5% for 12 to 18 months. These websites are suggesting "better alternatives" of mutual funds with return rate of 3-4% for the same duration.

If this is the case of misinformation for these simple investment tools, we can't imagine how much misinformation is there for more complicated options
