As an organization that caters to rehab investors , and having funded thousands of real estate investment deals , ReCasa Financial Group can tell investors that the most important asset is their credit score . A credit score can have a lasting impact on your ability to grow your real estate business in addition to other aspects of your personal and business endeavors. Not only can it change a loan from being approved to denied, but it can affect other aspects of successful real estate investing .

Credit scores can make the difference between being able to obtain a loan and getting denied. Even if your score only drops several points, it can result in higher interest rates. As far as lenders are concerned, lower credit scores equate with higher chances of delinquency,which translates into a higher risk premium on your loans or flat denial of your application.
Insurance companies use credit scores to determine if they will even provide insurance to a client, the types of coverage that they will make available, and the cost. Insurance companies have thousands of historical data points and statistical evidence that shows a correlation with “Bad or Lower” credit scores and the probability that an insurance claim will be filed.
