What is the advantage of having a real estate short sale?

The advantage of having a real estate short sale is that the seller avoids a foreclosure, does not take a toll on one's credit rating or FICO number. The buyer moves into a new home at a big discount, the lenders also dont have to take part in a long, drawn out sale process.

In short YES canceling your card Can HURT YOUR CREDIT.


Where can one with a poor credit rating find a loan?

Most loans are dependent upon credit rating. Having a high credit rating, meaning one always pays back ones debts on time and has a good history of such, can lead to easier loans. However, with poor credit ratings, it is much harder to obtain a loan. Luckily, there are loans that are built for such situations. One is a secured loan, in which some object of value is given as collateral until the loan is repaid. Another type would be high-interest loans. These are offered by some banks. Finally, payday loans carry a steep interest rate, and have very short repayment periods, typically a week (one's next paycheck).

What is function of credit rating agency?

Credit Rating Agencies rate the credit-worthiness of securities instruments. The reason for doing so is for investors to gain confidence that what they are buying is what they think it is. The big players in the industry (pension/insurance funds) have mandates which prevents them from investing in securities below a certain rating. You could say that they act as a means of protecting society from excessive speculation using 'social' funds (pension/insurance) by fund managers who are out to speculate short term by taking excessive risk.

How does short sell affect credit?

It all depends on how late or how many payments you were late when you start the short sale. In most cases if you get a successful short and your home gets sold it is a lot better than having a foreclosure on your credit report.


Why is having a long credit history with a few blemishes that were corrected better than a short history that is clear?

Simply because... with a long credit history, a prospective lender can see how you have operated your credit facility over a considerable period. Nobody's credit history is perfect - everyone has at least 1 or 2 lapses on their record. Having just a short credit history doesn't show 'trends' or patterns of (perhaps) persistent late payments.
