    We're refinancing our house at a 1.2% lower than our current loan, and to get it off the VA books. That's a good thing. Once that goes through (and it shouldn't be a problem because our credit scores are both over 825 - max possible is 850), we're going to buy another house using my VA benefits again, and rent the current one out (rent will be $300-500 more per month than the actual mortgage payment on the house). The mortgage loan guy said we have the 2nd highest credit score he's ever seen, and we have the lowest expenditure percentage he's ever seen (just 12% of our take-home pay is required to pay our debt, which is limited to just the current mortgage). Assuming we make it past the end of the Mayan calendar relatively unscathed, and assuming that the surviving population is still trading with paper money instead of shiny rocks and animal teeth, we plan on selling the rental house in a coupe of years. If none of that happens, I have a good supply of ammo to fend off the resulting zombie hordes. Ahhh, the lives of the not so rich and famous...

      Not surprising. I've never even known anyone online with 825+ :-) Is it just one bureau, or all 3?
