How To

The Best Ways Ever to Use Debt

Disclaimer

There are people who are out there that really don’t fully understand how important credit is. That is until it too late for them. They spent their time using their time running up their credit cards on useless stuff. Getting loans, they can’t afford. Or even using it to try and live a lifestyle they can’t afford. Sometime this happens because people just don’t value credit as much as cash. I know because they just understand it. Or sometimes their eyes are bigger than their pockets. If you’re going to go into debt, at least make it worth it. Let me show you some of the best ways to use debt.

Education

Using debt to improve yourself though education is a great idea. Going to college to get a degree in something that you know is going to pay off in the long run can be well worth it. And it’s not just college you have to go to, you can also go to a trade school as well my friends. Either one can led to you become something amazing.

Real Estate.

Rather you are buying a house for yourself or for an investment. Either way, you’re putting yourself in a pretty good position for the future. You can always sell your home after time for a profit. If you plan on using it as an investment property you can sit back and collect rent until you’re ready to sell or not.

Opening A Business

Opening a business is very risky and scary. But if you have an idea, you are pretty sure you can turn a profit with. I think it very well could be worth the risk my friends. You could end up making enough money to pay back that loan many times over.

Consolidation

If you are someone who was moving pretty fast and was piling up a lot of debt, and it starting to become a bit much. Well consolidation might be something that you can benefit from. Getting all your debt into one much more manageable payment can really help you a tone. Just think about all the money you’ll be saving on the interest you would have had to pay out.

Improving Your Credit Score

You can improve you credit score by using more debt. You can do this by using Credit Builder Loans my friends. These are made to help you out with your credit. It allows you to make payment that will improve your credit score.

Investments

Like with real estate you can use it to invest. This investment right here is Margin Loans. How it works is you invest in securities and look for a retune. Again, these are investments that are risky.

Home Improvement

You can take out Home Equity Loans/Lines of Credit to make improvement to your home. If you are looking to sell it or stay in it. Both ways will bring the value of your home up for you. Making it well worth it.

Emergencies or Necessary Purchases

We live day by day not knowing what going to happen. We plan as best as we can but none of us really know how our day will go. So, when an emergency comes up and we don’t have the funds we need to be able to rely on our credit if need be. There is nothing wrong with that.

Overall

Overall let’s just go over some of the best practices for using debt guys. Make sure you are only taking on debt that is necessary. Whenever you take on some new debt. Make sure you come up with a payment plan to repay the debt. You want to make sure you maintain a good credit so, don’t take on any debt that might hurt that. And whatever you do guy please avoid high-interest debt at all costs.

Bonus – How Credit Works

Back when I was a young buck, maybe high school or even earlier,let’s say middle school. I wish my teachers or parents would of told me how credit works and how to use it to my benefit. My awareness of what I didn’t know, my willingness to learn, and need to know attitude even out this disadvantage. See, sometimes the glasses is half full and not half empty. If you take that attitude in everything you do it want be much that can stop you. And it doesn’t hurt you have someone like me in your corner.

  So, what’s credit?  Credit is generally defined as an agreement between a lender and a borrower. In other words, it’s an I owe you agreement. Let’s get into an example. You just got a call saying you got the job, and you start tomorrow. Great news but, it’s a way from you and the busses doesn’t go that way. You have a car, problem solved? No! You need gas to get there. You haven’t had money coming in lately. What do you do? Get a loan? Sounds good but you don’t have a work history, they’re not going to lend to. Best thing to do is ask a friend. Your friend agrees to lend you the money as long as you pay it back out of your first paycheck. This is credit.

  Let’s talk about the most important part of credit my friends. The most important part of credit is your score. What’s a credit score you ask? A credit score is a number between 300-850 that depicts a Consumer’s creditworthiness. Now the higher your score is the more likely it is that a lender will be willing to let you borrow from them. Also, the higher it is the more you can borrow as well.

  Now that we have a clear understanding of what credit is and what a credit score is. Let’s talk about how to use it to your benefit. Let’s say you have a credit score of 740 and you saved a 100,000 in cash for your dream car. Instead of paying for the car in cash take 10,000 and make a down payment. Now with the 90,000 left go buy a rental property with 80,000. You rent it out so that the income from the rental property cover the car payment. Put the remaining 10,000 up for a rainy day because you never know what the future holds.

  This is just some basic knowledge of what credit is and how to use it to your benefit. Things I missed out on at a young age. Hopefully this benefits you and your future.
