It is in your best interest to pay off or pay down credit card debt or any debt prior to applying for a mortgage. The higher your debt to income ratio, which is the amount you owe compared to the amount you make reduces the chances of getting approved. Too much credit card debt also negatively impacts your credit score. If you already have a significant amount of pre-existing debt, this will raise your debt to income ratio. Also the more you add to your plate, will make more difficult to juggle and keep all balls in the air. If you are seeking to obtain a mortgage or loan of any kind, remember it is in your best interest to pay up any credit card debt.

These vacant malls could be turned into housing to alleviate the housing shortage as well as potentially boost the economy. We all win in this situation.
