Until now, they just did a fresh sp on my credit for there new credit monitoring system and now for the first time in 2 years I have a pre qualified offer from them for a venture card. This is a card that ive wanted for a long time, but I plan to buy a house in 4 months should i wait until after I close on my house to take the Venture card? would it affect my chances of getting a home loan?
- If you're interested in a mortgage, don't apply for anything now.
- If you want to explore getting a mortgage, you need to start shopping for a mortgage broker. From my own past experience, they are definitely notall created equal. Talk to friends and family to see who they used (and who they were happy with) and go from there. In my own experience, this worked out better than 'cold calling', but if you must 'cold call' it's not the end of the world. For one of my mortgages, someone I found in the phone book ended up working out quite well.
- In case you missed it the first time, don't apply for anything now!
Good luck!
