Developing a credit record as a freelancer
Business, Published on 06/10/2014

Over the next two years I plan to buy a car or a condo near my workplace, but I'm concerned about how to make the bank believe I can repay debt since I'm a freelancer. Should I start paying off the student loan now to create a good credit profile? Does the bank take payments into account when it comes to housing or car loan approvals, especially for freelancers? Can I start paying off my student loan ahead of the specified date?
