Reasons they may offer her more would be her good credit score of 720, not having any credit card bills by the time she is going to buy, and the down payment she has saved up to buy her house.

  13. Best choice for Michelle The best choice for Michelle would to stay in living with her parents at this time. She is able to save money to achieve her short-term goals. With the money she is saving she will be able to pay off her debt and build her savings to $10,000. She should stay there for at lest 3 to 5 years to help with these short term goals.
