Most lenders will use the lower of the middle score of all borrowers on the application. However, there may be some FHA options available to you with a 590 middle credit score. Or, if you can qualify with your income alone you can apply for the mortgage by yourself. Check with a local loan officer who can review your application and credit in detail and have him/her go over all of your options available. Best wishes, Sean
Yes you can find lenders that will use the 590 score for 96.5% financing on a home using an FHA loan..Lenders all use the lowest middle score of all borrowers.

In theory, FHA will allow you wives very low scores. In practice, most lenders will not allow a score that low, and if they do, there is still generally something on her credit report that will cause issues. Most people in your situation are well advised to spend some time with a reputable credit repair company to improve her credit, then go apply for a mortgage loan. www.Minneapolis-Mortgage.net
