For Progress Residential\u00ae residents, rent payments are far more than just a monthly expense \u2013 they are a steppingstone towards a brighter financial future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leading provider of property management services for single-family rental homes in the United States, Progress is committed to providing residents with financial empowerment tools and opportunities to reach their financial goals. That\u2019s why we unveiled a positive rent reporting program, turning timely rent payments into a powerful credit-building asset.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, we\u2019ll cover what positive rent reporting is, how it\u2019s creating upward economic mobility for thousands of residents and the \u201cwhy\u201d behind it all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Positive Rent Reporting? <\/strong> <\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Positive rent reporting is a simple, but highly impactful concept.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you pay your rent on time, it is reported to the three major credit bureaus, Equifax\u00ae, Experian\u00ae and TransUnion\u00ae, documenting that your payments are made on time and in full. This creates a positive, reliable payment history, which in turn helps build credit scores and opens a world of financial possibilities for residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress is proud to be at the forefront of this movement, offering free positive rent reporting to all residents.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Rent Reporting Positively Impacts Residents <\/strong> <\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For individuals who do not have a documented credit history, positive rent reporting is a gateway to establishing a credit score for the first time. Over 8,100 Progress Residential\u00ae residents have gained credit scores for the first time ever, transitioning from being \u201ccredit invisible\u201d to \u201ccredit active\u201d. This pivotal shift can provide greater access to important services such as credit cards and loans.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents with existing credit have seen an impressive average credit score increase of 45 points through the program, paving the way for a more secure financial future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improvements like these open doors to significant financial benefits including lower interest rates and the potential to move from subprime to prime credit. To illustrate the impact of how these improvements translate into tangible financial benefits:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
