Default Re: 1000 and one way to increase your credit score

I was told that my score would be higher if I had a mortgage that I was making payments on. My house is free and clear and has been for almost 30 years. I bought a piece of property and put a mortgage on it. I paid early and pay extra on the principal. I have paid off over $40,000 in less than 2 years. My score is 817.
