Secrets to Purchasing Real Estate Through Credit Cards
- Adding Authorized Users
Authorized users are people you trust to spend on your credit cards and who can add on your credit to build or restore their credit history. These users can access credit without applying for a card, and your on-time payment history will display on the user’s credit report. Adding an authorized user to an account is beneficial in that it can help the cardholder establish credit if they manage the account well. The entire payment history is often reported to the major bureaus, enabling users to build credit. They ensure your account is active, and you can earn more rewards on purchases made by authorized users. That is how you establish your credit.
- Faster Buying Process
It is more accessible to use a credit card to buy and renovate a house. It is quicker because there is no lender or mortgage approval to deal with instant financing, there is a timely closure, less paperwork to complete, and no potential financing delays.
- Lower Interest Rates
If your card has a zero-or-low interest promotional rate, you will come out ahead of traditional financing. It can provide significant savings as compared to using cash-out refinance for renovation costs. Rather than paying interest in renovations’ total cost, you can purchase supplies and material at no or low interest.
- Closing the Refinancing Gap
Lenders have a loan-to-value ratio for a traditional refinance, meaning you could only finance up to a set maximum of the cost of your home. If you have a high enough balance, you can potentially use a credit card to finance 100% of the price.
