You could go FHA. Probably around a 3.875%. Give me a call and let me know the details, I can give you a free quote. Melissa Evans540-907-9900melissa@bayfiledhomeloans.comhttps://www.facebook.com/melissa.evans.homeloans

Principle and Interest payment on this would be over $2,000 a month (not including property taxes, home owners insurance and mortgage insurance if required). Your income before taxes is under $4,600 per month. The principle and interest on this loan would represent over 43% of your pre-tax income. How would you be able to make the payment? And this isn't even taking into consideration your credit score. The best thing to do is sit down with a loan officer and go over the following two items: (1) Why is your score 622, what do you need to do to raise it and are you mortgage ready? (2) What is a reasonable payment for you to be able to afford in your budget and what payment is reasonable to be qualified. Good Luck -

Good afternoon Jeremy.........you may be able to choose between the FHA or Conventional programs unless you are VA eligible which requires no money down up to $417,000. Before any rate could be offered, a licensed Loan Officer should pull your credit and obtain your actual income documents to make certain they are offering you the best program available. I am a Senior Mortgage Banker and offer programs down to 600 middle credit score. My office is located in Va. Beach and I would be honored to help you......which can start with a 5 minute phone conversation.....call me at 757-233-1180 or my personal cell any time 757-343-5046. Best of luck!

Depending on the total amount of downpayment, he most likely loan options will be FHA or VA - and VA would have a much lower payment than FHA. If $55,000 is your GROSS income (before taxes) - which is what is used to qualify you - getting approved for a conventional loan for that amount would be a challenge at best if your housing payment alone would be over 40% of your income. I'll be happy to look at options for you - pdumouchel@primelending.com or 843-619-6025.

very helpful! thank you for the information. And to answer your questions yes 55k is the gross amount. I am reading about improving my credit score and contacting them to dispute my fico if possible. Not a veteran unfortunately. FHA seems like a good option and i may reconsider the home price that i can afford

Jeanette is absolutely correct, be careful about what advice you take in trying to improve your credit score - you can make it worse if you take the wrong steps. In general, pay off any new collections/charge offs from reported within the past 12 months; pay down any credit cards where you owe more than 30% of the limit on them (DON'T close them!); don't open any new accounts unless a very knowledgable mortgage lender tells you to. Disputed accounts may need to be either resolved OR the dispute removed before you can get approval for a mortgage. My guess is that you will need to reduce the loan amount you want, your payment on $400,000 including taxes and insurance (and possible flood insurance) could easily be $2300-2500/mo or more which will be difficult to get approved - even FHA.
