Brandon’s Background
Brandon was a middle child, raised in a small town, South of New Jersey, by a single mom of three kids. His mother went through bipolar depression and couldn’t keep a stable job so his family depended on government assistance just to make it by. With having no father figure or mentor and piles of overdue bills, as the only man in the house, Brandon leaned on drug dealing to help provide for his family. Being on that path, he went through many difficult situations- from being hospitalized in the ICU three times to being robbed the day before Christmas by his close friends and having dangerous encounters with guns to the head and knives to his throat. After an explosion happened and having 3-degree burns on his body while making hash oil, Brandon saw this as a sign from God and decided to make a turn on his life. Starting all over again, Brandon worked back-to-back in two restaurant jobs, and during any breaks, he would tune in podcasts or YouTube videos and books to learn everything he could on real estate and credit for two years After saving just $35,000 and with the extra help of credit, Brandon purchased his first rental property back in 2015. Brandon’s real estate portfolio has 20+ plus doors which consist of residential multifamily that is 2,3, and 4 units. Currently, Brandon just acquired a duplex and is doing a ground-up construction, adding 2 ADU’s in the back turning it into another 4-Plex. Being able to be financially free and witnessing the abundance of opportunities that both credit and real estate has given him, Brandon is passionate about helping others do the same which led him to host a weekly podcast called “Ready. Set. Go. REI” sharing how to invest in real estate successfully with little to no money in various strategic ways every Monday.

Using Credit Cards To Purchase Multi-Families

However, if your credit score is low and utilization is high, it will definitely be more difficult to leverage your credit and especially refinance your loan. To help you improve your credit, Brandon shared a few tips that you can take action on today. Utilization makes up 30% of your credit score so by paying your credit cards in full before the statement closing date, you will allow your score not to fluctuate but stay consistently elevated. Most people think that inquiries make up most of your credit score however while it does contribute to the score, credit history actually affects it more by 15%. The fastest way of increasing your credit history is through getting tradelines. Many people are unaware that authorized users affect three out of the six boxes making up 55% of your FICO score. Being added as an authorized user has no effect on the main account holder however, whatever credit history they have on only that particular card will report and have a huge impact on your credit profile.
