USDA Qualification help

You need to raise your score.. 640 is the minimum, and most lenders want 660 or above for USDA...Also the credit scores you came up with will be nothing like the scores your loan officer will have when he runs your credit... If your serious, and it sounds like you are, you need to have faith in your Loan Officer and let him do his job rather than hitting up internet posts.. if you don't have faith in him,,, then you need to find a LO that you feel comfortable with.. your scenario is not unique, and any competent LO can guide you into getting your score high enough to qualify.. (assuming that's the only thing in your way)... I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Why in the world are you using Wal-Mart to get your credit scores for a mortgage? There are various different score models based on what type of credit is being considered. The model for a mortgage is much more stringent than that of an auto loan. Get together with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker, rather than one of the big banks or big national mortgage factories, and for goodness sakes, not Wal-Mart either. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. He/She will have access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can properly guide you. But more importantly, He/She is trained to take a look at the various different options available to you and guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation. Don't forget to check out your selected Mortgage Originator at the National Mortgage Licensing System at www.NMLSConsumerAccess.org ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

USDA uses a Automated Underwriting Engine called GUS. If the score is below 640, it will automatically get referred. Most lenders will not do a refer eligible USDA loan. Theu will want the underwriting findings to read Accept/Eligible

This is an interesting situation. The bottom line is that each lender will utilize their own credit report and will use that report through the process. So scores from different sources dont work. What they recive they use. If that loan officer is willing to work with you on improvement great. If not, find a new loan officer. I am local and will invest the time. Thanks. Jim. 9139444767

I have lenders that will do a USDA loan at a 620 credit score but I am not licensed in KS. Find another mortgage broker.
