That is a great question. This is an FHA loan. FHA doesn't have a minimum credit score, however, all lenders have a minimum credit score they won't go below. For instance, we can't go below 620. However, there are lenders that will go below that. You just may not get the best interest rate. Feel free to contact me or my team with any questions. We would be happy to help.

Most lender will require at least a 640 due the higher risk of an FHA 203k rehab loan.

Lenders offering FHA financing will usually require a 620 or higher, however 203K's have a greater risk, so lenders will usually ask for 640 or higher for this product.. ..

surinine377, I would prefer a 640 or better CS, but may have an option down to 620. Getting a mortgage is more than just a credit score. I would be glad to speak with you about 203(k) product and your qualifications.

Surinine377 - I can accept the application with a score as low as 600. I also have a credit repair program that has helped many clients increase their score in as little as 30 days. If I could be of assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
