Credit repair is not just a personal finance topic. If you want to use DSCR loans to scale your real estate portfolio, it is the first step, not an afterthought. In this episode, I break down exactly why your personal credit score determines whether a DSCR loan will work for you at all. Your credit score determines your rate. Your rate determines your cash flow. And your cash flow determines whether the deal makes you money or costs you money. I am also sharing something personal. My own credit took a hit from an ongoing business debt issue that has lasted over 18 months. I am currently working with Freedom Debt Relief to get it settled and cleaned up. Yes, that means a temporary hit to my credit bureau for six to twelve months. But the alternative is staying stuck, paying 20 to 22 percent interest on deals that should never have gotten that expensive in the first place. This episode is for the investor who keeps getting told to leverage up and buy more without anyone explaining that personal debt is the actual gatekeeper to every DSCR loan you will ever try to close.
