About this episode

David and Christian discuss a new pilot program that allows timely rent payments to contribute to credit scores for mortgage qualification.

In a big news update issued by both HUD and the FHFA, it’s being reported that a pilot program is in the works. This new program will allow those who make their rent payments on time to be granted credit for this in the FICO credit system, effectively helping renters to qualify for a mortgage to become homeowners themselves. David and Christian react to a video of the announcement, share the information they know, and answer listener questions. Check it out!
