Yes programs have changed. We are one of the few lenders that have programs that can go down to a 600 mid fico. Please call me I can be reached at 1877-900-4762 x318.Thank you.
A 607 score is not a good score, and while shopping around enough you may be able to find someone to look at your application, understand two things. First, just because you meet a minimum score requirement doesn't mean you are approved. It simple means you are not automatically denied. Secondly, you likely will pay a penalty in a higher rate for those low scores. While I understand the desire to buy, it is almost always better to take a little time to understand and fix the credit before buying. While it varies slightly by lender, the magic number you want to be above is typically 640 for Government loans (FHA, VA) and 660 for standard Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac loans.
