We do provide loans for people with 3.5% down payment and 580 to 619 fico midscores before our standard FHA/VA loan minimum of 620 mid fico score comes in to play. We are not concerned with the medical collections as we are with showing no late payments in the past 12 months. We want to see that you are now on track with building back your good credit. I only do loans in CA but would be happy to refer you to an associate in WA if you like. Please contact me via my profile or personal website at graylending.com.

Guarantees by the VA in insuring a VA loan does not prevent "overall risk determination" by any lender in underwriting and funding a VA loan. Thus, lenders generally have standard minimum middle FICO credit scores to go along with other qualifying criteria which in the case of a V A loan is generally 620 or 640 depending on the lender. This is not to say that the V A will not guarantee insurance for a loan underwritten with credit scores below the standard minimums but a bank has to be willing to do so. I have been able to make these exceptions time and time again on FHA loans but have not done any below the 620 FICO mid credit score in my office for a VA loan. I am not sure if they are able to do so in the WA branch. Perhaps there is a revolving debt or credit card that could be paid down to get you to the 620 minimum mid FICO score required (I use "rapid credit re-score" to increase the mid score). The VA loan can always be with 0 down if there is a lender willing to accept your lower mid credit score along with review of the other qualifying criteria. We make the other exceptions for things such as you mentioned often enough but do have to meet the 620 FICO mid score minimum.

Thanks again! Appriciate your response that is the lender I am looking for. Someone who has done this. We have paid everything off but the car and medical collections on payment plan. So nothing else can go.. Maybe someone can do the rapid rescore but we charge a little and pay off to try to keep getting the scores up
