bank, what your income is. the type of property you're buying. it is true that your credit score is the biggest factor when it comes to your interest rate. >> that makes sense. >> okay. >> there's a highlight that our american heros, our vets can get 100% financing with a 620 credit score. >> oh, okay. >> who's next. when buying a house, the number one rule is location, location, location? buy or bust? >> i'm saying that's an old myth. >> i'm saying that's a buy. >> i'm sticking here. >> right and wrong. >> come on. more right. yes it's a buy. you lost willie. >> you lost willie. >> so here's the real life scenario. i have a house for sell, 10.7 million. beautiful architect and builder built the thing right but you take the house in alpine and put it anywhere else in new jersey it's not 10.7 million anymore. location, location, location
