It’s funny hearing mortgage lenders talk about all these “requirements” like the current system is working perfectly.
The reality is that the housing system has become extremely difficult for the average working person. Home prices and borrowing costs have risen much faster than many people’s incomes, while lenders have become increasingly cautious about who qualifies.
And here’s the part people need to understand: the problem isn’t always that people can’t afford a house — sometimes the system’s definition of “affordable” doesn’t match real life.

I’ve come to the conclusion that my starter town home will now be my forever home.

I use my American Express Cash Reward Card like a debit card by transferring money to pay off pending charges the moment I swipe. Unlike other institutions that make you wait for charges to post, Amex allows immediate payments. This strategy keeps my balance at zero while racking up major rewards—I've already earned enough cash back this year to fund my kids' school supplies!

This applies to Amex cards with actual limits, charge cards are reported completely differently.

America Express will cut your limit but on your credit report it says N/A for credit limit.

My wife doesnt have an AMEX and her credit card's limit was reduced by about 20% unbeknownst her until she tried to use it. I told her the same thing you're saying here.

Sending this video to my cousin... literally 2 days ago she told me she doesn't understand why Amex, out the blue, gave her a credit limit. No missed payments or lates. Luckily she purchased a house a year ago.

She ain’t lying I let my Amex go this year because paying on time and doing what’s right means nothing, hasn’t for a long time.
