Credit score of 669, can I qualify for a new home loan?

I found a home worth 175k in Coventry, not good credit, but I have enough to put 15% down on the home as well as a solid income of roughly 45k a year. What rates could I expect and should I put more money into the down payment or towards buying points? by Plecka_958_686 from Coventry, Rhode Island. Dec 9th 2011 Reply

Congratulations on finding a home! Depending on your credit score you may have several options. FHA an USDA are the most forgiving as far as credit goes. Most lenders like to see a score of 640 or higher, this is where you will get your best pricing and rates. I deal with a couple of lenders that will go to a 560 for a purchase with some compensating factors. 15% down and solid, stable income is a start. The rates should be in the 4's. It's hard to say without all the facts.Your first step should be to select someone you are confident in and let them do a credit review for you. They might be able to help you to tweak your score.Best of luck,if you need any help please feel free to email me at JPaulino@AccuTrust.biz

With a 669 you should be fine going FHA or USDA depending on where in Coventry. Going conforming most lenders are looking for that 720. You should be in the low 4's on a 30 year fixed program.Once again, best of luck.Jim PaulinoAccuTrust Mortgage774-234-7283

Yes, congrats on finding a home now its time to get your financing so you can present a strong contract a pre-approval is stronger than a pre-qualification.
