Working to improve your credit score and reduce your debt-to-income ratio before applying can help get you the best loan terms. You will also start to repay the money.

We paid off over $147,000 in debt (actually way over that amount, if you want to count a $210,000 rental property that I sold at a slight loss.) About $52,000 of that $147K was consumer debt (credit cards, a student loan, a car loan, a home improvement loan, etc.) Then my husband decided to pay off his car.

How much debt did you pay off? What kind of debt was it? After my first marriage fell apart, I ended up with over $14,000 of consumer debt, made up of a car loan and credit cards. It took just over a year (14 months to be exact) before I paid off all my debts and became debt free!
