Lance Armstrong Riding in the Tour of the Gila

One of the greatest things about living in Las Cruces is the great mountains New Mexico features so near by.  The trip to Ruidoso or Cloudcroft allows Las Cruces residents to get away to trees and cool weather.  Las Cruces is also a quick trip to Silvercity and the Gila Wilderness.  Lance Armstrong is finding out first hand about the area as he competes in the "Tour of the Gila".  The 7 consecutive Tour de France winner has competed in this race before so he knows about the high elevation and difficult course.  What a great oppurtunity for Southern New Mexico to host one of Americas most dominate athletes.

5 Factors That Decide Your Credit Score

  
 
  

Having trouble trying to improve your credit?  Trying to buy a house?  These factors will help you understand what goes into determining your credit score.  For more information visit us at

5 Factors That Decide Your Credit Score

Credit scores range between 200 and 800. Scores above 620 are considered desirable for obtaining a mortgage. These factors will affect your score.

1. Your payment history. Whether you paid credit card obligations on time.

2. How much you owe. Owing a great deal of money on numerous accounts can indicate that you are overextended.

3. The length of your credit history. In general, the longer the better.

4. How much new credit you have. New credit, either installment payments or new credit cards, are considered more risky, even if you pay promptly.

5. The types of credit you use. Generally, it’s desirable to have more than one type of credit—installment loans, credit cards, and a mortgage, for example.
