| | New FICO Scores A Boon To LandlordsWritten by Mark Walters
Fair Isaac Corporation is creator of FICO credit score that is used today by most lenders to evaluate consumer credit risk. FICO scores range from a poor credit low of 500 to a best credit rating of 850.The higher FICO score lower interest rates offered by most lenders. For example here is a look at how FICO scores might affect a $150,000 30-year, fixed rate loan: Score Interest Payment 720-850 5.64% $865 700-719 5.77% $877 675-699 6.30% $929 620-674 7.45% $1,044 560-619 8.53% $1,157 500-559 9.29% $1,238 Rates change frequently, but you can check daily average at myfico.com. Fair Isaac has extended its FICO score to cover an expanded population base. This expanded FICO coverage will tap into non-traditional sources of consumer data to assess credit risk of adults who have minimal or no credit history on file - such as recent immigrants, people with low incomes, recent widows and divorcees, and young people.
