In today's world, credit is more than just a number; it’s a gateway. Whether you’re hoping to buy a home, start a business, or simply get a better interest rate, your credit score plays a pivotal role in determining what doors are open to you. I’ve spent more than 50 years in the world of real estate, lending, and finance, and I’ve seen firsthand how credit can either create opportunities or limit them. It’s a tool—one that, when used correctly, can help you build wealth and achieve financial freedom. Yet, for many people, credit remains a mystery, a source of stress, or even a barrier to the life they want to live.

That’s why I wrote “Credit Fixer Upper: How to Fix, Build, and Master Your Score”. In this book, I aim to demystify credit, providing you with a clear, actionable path to take control of your financial future. Whether you’re starting from scratch, looking to repair past mistakes, or simply want to optimize your current score, this guide will give you the knowledge and strategies you need to succeed. I’ll show you how credit works, explain how to navigate the system, and help you avoid common pitfalls that so many fall into when trying to improve their credit.

My journey in real estate has taught me the importance of credit in creating wealth. Over the decades, I’ve helped people secure loans, build homes, and achieve their financial goals, and I’ve realized that a solid credit foundation is key to unlocking these opportunities. Credit doesn’t just affect whether you can get a mortgage or a car loan; it impacts nearly every aspect of your financial life. From securing lower interest rates to accessing investment opportunities, good credit is a cornerstone of financial success.

But this book isn’t just about fixing bad credit; it’s about building a strategy to master your score and use it as a tool for wealth creation. Too often, credit is viewed as a reactive process—something to fix after it’s been damaged. I want to change that mindset. I want you to view your credit as a proactive, dynamic part of your financial plan, something you can leverage to achieve your goals.

In “Credit Fixer Upper”, you’ll find real, practical advice based on my decades of experience, not just as a financial professional, but as someone who has seen the power of credit at work in people’s lives. My hope is that, through this book, you’ll not only fix any credit issues you may have but also come away with a deeper understanding of how to use your credit as a tool for long-term success.

Credit is more than just a score—it’s a tool for building the life you want. Let's get started.
