 TITLE: How to Get a Property Survey CONTENT: Property Surveys Are a Key Part of Home Purchasing\n--------------------------------------------------\nConducting a property survey is one of many steps in buying a home. Before shopping for properties, it's important to get your credit ready for a mortgage. Get a free credit report from each of the three major consumer credit bureaus—Experian, TransUnion and Equifax—at AnnualCreditReport.com and review them for the factors that may be affecting your credit. You can also get your Experian credit report and view your credit score for free directly through Experian.\nA FICO® Score☉ of 670 or better is considered good and can help you qualify for lower mortgage interest rates and better loan terms. But why stop there? The higher your credit score, the more you could save on mortgage interest. Ways you can help improve your credit score include paying down debt, paying bills on time and avoiding new applications for credit. END
