A family member wants to buy their first home but they have bad credit… any suggestions? I’m paying off my credit card three to 5 times a month in order to keep my utilization at 30%…. am I doing this right to help improve my credit?

Answering these questions of yours and more on this week’s Ask Farnoosh with special co-host Leah Gervais, founder of Urban 20 Something blog.
