How does the perkins loan differ from the stafford loan?

TwistedxKiss asked:


I qualified for like a $500 perkins loan as well as some stafford loans, and I spent all my financial aid researching time looking at stafford loans, so I don’t know much about the perkins loan. I looked it up and read that the two are similar, but how are they different?

How can you raise you credit score even when you pay on time?


Ok, past credit messed me up. I have a judgement thats almost paid off. I am trying to raise my credit score.I have 3 new accounts that I’ve paid on time for over 1 year. I read that one way to raise your score is to ” piggy back” on a relatives good credit ( have them add me to one of their good accounts and not use it) Is this safe, is it legal. I would love to hear constructive ways to increase my credit score. Please don’t judge me. Almost all of my ” bad” credit accounts have been paid off. I put my sons first when the divorce came. They lived in the house that I paid for while I lived in a basement.Submited by:amhjp1820

What are the ins and outs of getting a construction loan to build a home?

amyann16 asked:


My husband and I are 1st time homebuyers. We have been preapproved for a house loan, but are not having luck finding what we want. We have toyed with the idea of building our own. What are the differences between getting a preapproved loan and buying a already built house and going through getting a construction loan? Do you have to put money up front for a construction loan? Do you make mortgage payments while the house is being built, or do you wait until the house is completed? Is there a time frame that the house must be built within? If we were preapproved for a certain amount with a homebuyers loan, would we likely be preapproved for the same amount for a construction loan? What other differences should I know about? Since we are first time homebuyers we do not have much collateral (we do have some savings, but not a ton), would that affect our ability to get a construction loan?

What is a good credit card to get that you almost will never get turned down for?

I currently have two credit cards, but would like to get one final one. I’ve been getting turned down for a few recently that I thought sounded good.
