What is the lowest credit score accepted to get a VA loan?

For Va financing, "YOU" the veteran must live in the property.. you cannot purchase for someone else.. VA does not have a minimum credit score, however VA does not lend money.. they only insure loans against default.. each lender offering VA financing will have their own varying guidelines regarding minimum credit scores, but for most, it will take a 620 to 640.. I have a lender who will go to 580, but understand that the lower the score, the stricter the guidelines are.. I would be happy to look at your specific scenario and let you know what is possible. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

VA is only for Owner Occupied loans and typically the lowest any lender will allow is for a 580 credit score, at this score they will probably ask for compensating factors in order for the loan to get approved
