June is all about housing at America Saves, and our newest podcast episode discusses something that plays an important role whether you're preparing to rent your next apartment or buy your first home: your credit.

We're joined by Jenelle Dito from FICO® to help you better understand credit and how it can impact your housing goals. Some questions we cover include:

  • What should you be paying attention to when it comes to your credit score?
  • Which credit scores matter for mortgages?
  • What should renters know about credit scores?

Taking a few simple steps today when it comes to your credit can help create more opportunities and options for your future.
