Conventional Mortgage loans have the strictest credit/underwriting/debt ratio qualifications.

Jumbo loans, or anything with a credit score at the low end of the "acceptable" range for that type loan.

As a rule conventional would be the most stringent form financing. Most lender require a higher credit score on conventional than FHA, VA or USDA.

Conventional loans have the most stringent credit guidelines. FHA and VA are less strict due to the fact that they are insured by the government. However, you do have to pay for this insurance. If you are concerned about your credit, it would be wise to speak with a mortgage banker about your specific situation and see what you are eligible for. Also, if your scores are low, you can always work on improving them before you buy.

Fannie Mae due to credit score requirements, foreclosure seasoning, and debt to income ratios. Appraisals are the same with each lender as far qualifying.
