Credit Scoring Tony Hayhow - Recording
Just a few years ago, before the onset of the GFC just about anyone could get a loan... Not so today, world money suppliers have spurned risk forcing increasingly tougher credit policies. As banks increasingly dominate finance they have returned to days when borrowers had to 'earn the right' to borrow money. Banks have now introduced "credit scoring" systems where loans are first assessed by computers, if it fails the system's credit score, the application is rejected outright. It is dead in the water. Like never before, property investors must now learn how the credit system works and manage their credit rating or they face unexpected loan refusal. IEF Credit Manger Tony Hayhow explains how the banks gather the data, how they score applicatants and how you can keep yourself credit worthy. It's a frightening world of finance, no longer can you go out and buy with the expectation that you will get your funding.
