First, order a credit report. You can get one through a mortgage lender or online. Please don't fall for purchasing whatever a "free" credit report offer is making you buy!
After you have the credit report, which is provided instantly through a mortgage lender and may cost $13-$50, feel free to discuss it with the lender. He/she is an expert at translating the report and helping you find a way to better any bad marks. At the same time, you'll be establishing a relationship with a local lender and be that much closer to buying your first home, which is the secret to retiring stress-free.

1. Pull your credit report. Contact all outstanding creditors to make arrangements for payment.
2. Once paid off make sure you keep everything up. The longer you have without late payments the higher your score will be.
3. Get a secured credit card. Use it and pay it off every month to show a history of steady payments.
