Fha is the way to go...seek out a local broker ...and if they need help placing loan have them contact me and I will help...we don't lend in Iowa.

FHA is your best option,
I can also look at this option for you. My direct line is 605 941 7029 and am located near Sioux Falls, SD.
A 614 credit score is considered bad credit. The vast majority of lenders will not go below 640, which really limits your options. The good news is, a small number of FHA lenders WILL lend with a 614 middle score. The reality is, score alone does not an approval make. Contact a local mortgage broker, and good luck.
You should be able to obtain FHA financing however, you will need to search around a bit as most lenders have overlays which prohibit anything below a particular credit score (generally 640 or 620).
Typically a 620 credit score is going to be needed for financing. We offer assistance to gain the credit score points you need in order to buy a home. Where is the home you are looking to purchase? I only lend in Iowa. Please feel free to call me or apply online!Danyel Peck, 515-669-4560 or www.danyelpeck.com I'd be happy to assist you through this process and any questions you may have.
You will need to go FHA- some lenders will go down to your score depending on your down payment- there are good lenders hereon lender 411 that may be able to assist you-Pete
Contact a lender that is licensed in Iowa to look into your loan options. Based on your credit score an FHA loan might be the right option for you.
