Carmen, when looking at your FICO score and buying a home you need to have a 640 or higher. FHA requires a 640 FICO score and takes the lowest FICO to qualify, if there are 2 borrowers, and if 1 borrower, FHA will take the Middle score, when all 3 credit bureaus report scores. I do work with all 3 credit bureaus and can improve FICO scores within 3 days, if there is something that is fixable. Since you are just starting to build your credit it is important to not be late and any debt in the last 12 months. Hope this helps. Click on my link for more info. RC

Carmen, the good news is $200,000 is not a very high loan amount. For an FHA loan, with an average interest rate of 5% right now with minimum down payment (3.5%-5%) your payment should be around $1,100 per month (just an estimate with mortgage insurance). Call me ASAP! 213-739-4332 if you're looking to buy in California and ask for Alex. Chow!

Hi Carmen. FHA allows credit scores down to 580, however, it is almost impossible to get financed below 620. Most states have down payment assistance programs allowing scores down to 600. Based on a 650 score, you should have no trouble obtaining a loan. There are other things that come into play, though. Your debt to income ratios play an important role, as well.I am available to talk to you further should you need to. I am able to help folks in 47 states and can be reached at 866-901-3576 or PatrickM@Northpointe.com

To find out, the most it will cost you is for a credit report. ... Find a lender you're comfortable with. ... Then apply for a loan. .... Happy funding, Rudi
