Looking to buy my first home
I'm looking for a loan $200,000 - 250,000 to purchase my first house but I'm afraid my credit isn't good enough... I have a 650 credit score. I have about 15% toward a down payment and I currently make over $72,000 per year. Are there any lenders that can help me out? Is that credit good enough to work with? by rayjohnson376 from Talahassee, Florida. May 27th 2010

With the scenario you posted, you would qualify for an FHA loan. FHA requires a minimum of 640 credit score and you can qualify for a 30 year fixed under 5%. Have you already picked the home out that you are looking to purchase. I would love to speak with you on this and give you an excellent rate with great service. Hope this helps.

If you have only 15% to put down, you can't go Conventional with a 650 score.You can however go FHA with as little as 3.5% down. Their rates are comparable to Conventional with the only drawback being their 2.25% up front mortgage insurance premium which can be financed in the loan or paid out of pocket. FHA offers 30 & 15 year fixed rates. Let me know if I can help. 563-324-9937. Todd-Main Street Financial
