Although the minimum FICO score required by individual lenders will vary depending on the home loan program, achieving a 640 minimum FICO score for an FHA insured home loan should be the goal. If you have student loans that are presently in deferment, the mimimum desirable FICO score would be 660. If you were in USDA home loan market, you would be required to have at least a 620 minimum FICO score with other positive compensating factors.

We are one of the few lenders that offer FHA loans down to 600 credit scores. Your credit score is only one part of the equation. It is highly recommended to submit a full credit application so your credit, income and assets can all be evaluated.

It's not a simple as just the credit score. If your credit has been good for the last 12 months, we can go down to a 580 score for a FHA purchase mortgage. 866-766-1918.
