Most mortgage programs will allow a 650 score with 5% down. But remember, credit score alone does not make a loan approval. There are still many other facets to loan approval.
James, for sure. A Conventional Loan would be 5% down and an FHA loan is 3.5%. Give me a call sometime and we can discuss the options on exactly what you're wanting to do.
Yes you can!
Most lenders require a 640 or above credit score for FHA financing.. and FHA only requires 3.5% down payment.. But understand it takes more than a credit score to get approved... foreclosure? Short Sale? Bankruptcy? Unpaid Taxes? Unpaid Student Loans? You could have a 750 credit score and have one of these deficiencies and still not get approved.. so it's best you contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete profile, only then will they be able to advise you properly.. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Hi James, It's possible to get a conventional at 5% down with a 650; by improving to 660 your rate/payments will be lower. Call Me
Yes you can, providing you meet all the other qualifications.
Yes that score is high enough for a FHA, VA and Conventional. However, it will of course depend on your full credit and income picture for an approval. I would contact a local loan officer and start the pre-approval process before you start looking at property. Best wishes, Sean
