Should I pay off my mortgage early

You are correct that removing a revolving line of credit can adversely affect FICO scores, however, your mortgage payment is an installment debt. Consequently, as long as the payment history has been current, your and your brothers scores shouldn't decline. I say shouldn't because the credit industry is a "strange world" and sometimes things happen that shouldn't for various unknown reasons. However, because the mortgage history will stay on your credit reports for many years, and if it is without any recent blemishes, the scores should be fine.

A mortgage and a revolving line are two separate things.. paying off a credit card to zero might lower someone's scores, but if he is at 545, it wont be of any significant.. but you're talking about a credit card, you're talking about a mortgage (installment debt).. and a paid off mortgage should improve the score.. not lower it.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.
