To take advantage of the FHA loan’s 3.5 percent down payment, you’ll need a credit score of at least 580. Borrowers with credit scores below 580 may be able to qualify with a 10 percent down payment. But it’s also important to understand that FHA lenders can have credit score minimums that exceed what the government requires. If you’ve filed for bankruptcy, you’ll need to be at least two years removed from the filing and have since established good credit. If you’ve experienced a foreclosure, you must be three years removed for the foreclosure. Guidelines and policies on credit can vary by lender.
An FHA loan is popular especially among first time home buyers because they allow down payments of 3.5% for credit scores of 580+. Borrowers credit score can be between 500 – 579 if a 10% down payment is made. Contact us today to get the process started!
