Want to purchase all new furniture before you move into your new house? Maybe Mathis Brothers has zero percent financing on that new master bedroom suite so you can pay it off over time without any finance charges. Why not go ahead and purchase it before closing and have it delivered the day of closing? WAIT! DON'T DO IT! If you make a large purchase such as furniture on credit before closing on your new home, you may end up with no home to put your new furniture in!

Overdraft fees can affect your credit worthiness

Credit Scoring Made Simple

What is credit scoring? Simply put, credit scoring is a method of assessing the credit risk of a loan applicant.

Native American Home Loans

Oklahoma has always been "Indian Country".  With America's highest concentration of Native Americans, Oklahoma is home to 35 different tribes.  Well over 1/4 of the people now living in Oklahoma have some type of Indian heritage. Because of this high concentration of Native American's, the HUD section 184K loan is an attractive, yet little known program available for new homeowners in the Oklahoma City metro area. Similar to an FHA loan, the HUD 184K loan offers nearly 100% financing loan and most importantly, it requires no monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance) which can significantly … Continue reading...
