Worst thing you get tier 2, if it’s a flip nbd, if it’s a 4xe to keep - you’ll have slightly higher TCO, but if it’s CCAP they are literally one of THE MOST forgiving banks.
I want ccap and told them. I was planning on flipping but now im unsure. If I do flip its to get SOT
Ccap is just Santander in disguise. Poor credit is their bread and butter.
At a minimum I’d keep it until your credit score rebounds. Flipping against that score will give your bureau stretch marks.
My dad is still nagging me over the single-digit point drop from 830 he took when I flipped the M4
How can I get a car loan or home loan with a good credit score, but with a bad income source? Is it possible to get the loan?
Could you please clarify this portion a little more?
Do you mean an inconsistent source month to month? Low numbers recently?
I’m guessing underground economy?

If you have strong credit, generally you won’t need to document income for a car loan.
Home loans are a different story.
Are you self-employed? What’s the concern about your income source?
I just checked mine, so I thought I’d do a PSA: I’m not sure for how long, but your “annual” free credit reports are still available weekly at www.annualcreditreport.com .
If you are getting your credit information from a company whose only interest is selling you additional credit products (Kredit Karma and others), you are only seeing a third-party’s interpretation of a portion of your credit file , and you really should look periodically at the entire credit file directly from your reports.
I recently had a discrepancy on a mortgage trade line as it was displayed on Experian’s own app, but when I pulled my actual Experian credit report it was clear that the account was indeed reporting correctly.
Experian and Equifax both had “errors” asking me to call or email, and transunion didn’t have a credit score available for me, unless I wanted to purchase one for $0.99
Side note: Who pays $0.99 for a garbage Vantage Score?
Since this thread is back. I should update on what happened with my credit. My car shipping got delayed 1.5 months. In the meantime, I had paid off a large chunk of the 0% apr credit debt I had. My vintage credit score had jumped back by 30 points (735). When I went to pick up the car from Gupton, they just checked my vintage TransUnion score and did not even make a hard inquiry on my credit report. They said I was Tier 1 and that was the end of it.
Heyyyy congrats! Conclusions to stories are always great.
Awesome. Love reading happy outcomes like that.

I made an observation in a recent thread that a new account isn’t necessarily going to noticeably impact your credit scores.
Here is the ultimate expression of that point, using the Experian FICO 8 (tops out at 850) as a reference point, with an additional update.
Relevant Timeline:
3/25/22 - Experian FICO 8 was 847
4/4/22 - New auto loan reported to Experian (score remained 847)
5/6/22 - Experian FICO 8 moved up to / maxed at 850 due to other changes in my credit file
Keys to this:
Payment history: no late payments, ever, on any account that’s reporting
Relatively long credit history: average age of accounts is between 9 and 10 years
Thick credit file: Dozens of open and closed accounts reporting
Extremely low revolving (credit card) utilization: Balances reporting are well under 1% of total revolving limits
Installment history: at least one open installment account with a relatively low balance compared to the original loan amount
Inquiries: Make very little, if any difference. I have 3 reporting on Experian, but two are older than a year (FICO 8 ignores those completely), plus one from six months ago when I opened a Citi credit card for an $800 sign-up bonus.
Your good credit is there to leverage. Use it every time it makes sense.
