Set the bar at around 650, but be aware that different agencies score differently. So Experian will show a different score than Equifax and Trans union (i think those are the 3 agencies). as Sachilles said, look at the late payments and HOW late they are. late on utilities is a very bad sign.i have a 760 and i rent, who wants to give me a house?
who said give?
most people with a high credit score will qualify for a mortgage, which if used with a decent down payment, will be less than the equivalent properties rent.
it's not always the case, but typically is.
