Getting closer

So I took all spring and summer of 2011 to check out and fix my credit. I knew there was some old identity theft in the past, and though I thought I cleared it off ages ago, a few items were still there. Then there was the couple of old accounts that were bad, and I had to pay those off too. WHEW! All paid off, false stuff removed, and now my credit ratings are in the “Excellent” category of being above 720 each (all 3 agencies)!

Meanwhile, I’ve been looking online and looking online and looking online, while thinking that getting pre-approved for a loan might be super scary, hard, or anything but easy. But you don’t know till you try, right? I contacted a few banks, got the laundry list of items they require (lots of paperwork, taxes, paycheck stubs, etc), then sent it all off! I got pre-approved from BOTH banks very, very quickly. That was so easy. The trick is just having good credit.

Finally, I’m continuing to look while I continue to build up my down payment… I’m getting close!

Journey

I’m working on it. It’s sometimes hard to see infinity through the daily trudge in life, but when you keep yourself centered and focused on what really matters, it all becomes clear.



tag my city with "You Are Beautiful" stickers. (read all 3 entries…)
Fast forward 11 months

Got a huge bunch of the stickers sitting in my desk. I need to spend a morning on a weekend running around with friends, tagging the city.

Any San Franciscans want to join me?
