It depends on the what is in your credit file when it comes to FHA. The best FHA lenders offer the best rates at 660 minimum credit score. They will also look to see if you need to have a 'manual underwrite' done on your loan. If that is the case, then you will have a higher rate.
FICO score for mortgageDepends on your definition of "good". You can get a mortgage with 686 score. FICO score over 720 will get you the best mortgage rate.
Uh, yes. That's extremely good.
671 is a good score thru the eyes of a mortgage lender. Anything over 620 will get you a conventional rate or the street rate you hear offered on the radio or tv. There are a number of different credit scores. Since you did not indicate what credit score you are referring to I am assuming you are referencing your FICO score. You have 3 FICO scores, 1 for each of the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union). The score measures the likihood you will repay your debt. You can help increase your score by paying on time and reducing your debt. The score is also used by lenders for loan decisions and interest rate assignment. The FICO score ranges from 300 to 850. The minimum FICO score lenders like to see is 723. The national average is about 678.
In general, yes a score of 735 is considered a great score. With this score you should get the best interest rate at almost all lenders. However, each lender and each industry has a different tolerance for the risk they will take. Your FICO score is really only a measurement of the risk of you defaulting on a debt. Some lenders for example may require a score of 740 or 760 to be granted their best interest rate. For a FHA mortgage, a FICO score of 640 will get you the best rate available.

Your interest rate depends on the bank that you go to. Talk to different loan officers to determine the best interest rate for you.
The higher your FICO credit score, the lower your interest rate is commonly. If your score is at 721 then your interest rate may be approximately 3 percent.
More than likely, you will be able to qualify for an FHA with 3.5% down. They don't focus much on your score versus other items such as your income which seems pretty decent. Good luck.

Your fico score is only one factor in buying a home. The lender will also consider your job history, debt to income ratios, assets and how much you are putting down on the home. Fico scores under 580 may cause you to get a VERY high interest rate, if you can find a lender that will lend on the home. A score of 680 or above will usually get you an excellent rate in todays markets.
A good interest rate on a mortgage in 2014 is 4.2 percent. This varies greatly depending on the type of mortgage and the credit score of the applicant.
The credit score can effect mortgage rates in a lot of differnt ways. If someone has a high credit score he get a lower mortgage rate and if someone has a low credit score he gets a higher mortgage rate.
