lynnlornaygkhomes If you’re considering purchasing a home, monitoring your credit report and credit rating is especially important. Here are five tips for improving your credit. It’s not about quick fixes, but responsible financial activity over time. 1️⃣ Get a credit card: OK, this may seem counterintuitive, but when used correctly, a credit card can be an effective tool for building credit. Charge a few budget-conscious purchases each month, and pay the balance off before your due date. 2️⃣ Keep your balance low: This is the other side of the coin with credit cards. Try to only charge for items you could pay for out-of-pocket, and try to stick to a balance of only 10 percent of your credit limit. 3️⃣ Food: If your kitchen is being torn apart, preparing meals becomes a lot more difficult. You may be able to keep your food budget steady by switching to meals that don’t require counter space, the stove, or the oven, but don’t be surprised if you end up dining out more often. 4️⃣ Leave paid debts on your report: Paid off debts like car loans show that you have a history of paying your debt on time. 5️⃣ Ask! If you’re looking to pay off a debt quickly, it can’t hurt to ask the lender to lower your interest rate. You can’t get what you don’t ask for!

lynnlornaygkhomes If you have the heart of an artist, this Amherst Island cottage is for you. Enjoy your coffee and watch the mist on the field while sitting on the ivy-covered back verandah. Later set up your easel or open a good book while curled up in the fully enclosed sunroom. At day’s end, watch the sunset over the Bay of Quinte from the primary bedroom deck. This cottage, made from wood that was cut and sawn on the family farm in Millhaven, is full of clever details and craftsmanship. Check out the two-storey stone fireplace and cathedral ceiling in the living room – and the vintage stove in the kitchen. All built on a full height block foundation with a metal roof. Don’t miss this treasure!
