There are a small handful of lenders who will lend down to 500 FICO scores on FHA loans, but you will have to have very good compensating factors and the terms may not be advantageous for a borrower. More lenders will be available and the terms will be better at the tiers of 580, 620 and 640.
Yes, you can get approved with a 517 FICO for a mortgage loan; however the terms of the loan may be far worse than if you are able to work on improving your credit score first. Everyone has to start somewhere!
With today's mortgage situation it is hard to find a lender that will complete or fund a loan with a fico score of 640 or less. FHA now requires a 640 fico score while conventional home loans require a 660 or above fico score. Your best luck will be to try a lender such as GMAC depending on what area of the country that you are trying to get a home loan for.
If your credit score is low, your down payment could be increased to compensate for it. Your credit score, yearly income, past repayment history all factor in to a loan acceptance.
Yes, you can get approved for a mortgage loan with a FICO score of 587; however you may have to pay a higher interest rate. You can definitely obtain a loan with a 587 FICO. While its not the best score one could have its not the worst, your rate will be higher since you would be considered a sub-prime borrower but you could obtain up to 100% financing with a 580 or better. Your credit history will also be a factor, have you filed for bankruptcy or credit counseling, do you have any collections or charge-offs. As well as your income and debt to income ratio. With FHA you can put 3% down, and they dont have a credit score requirement. Make sure to use a broker who has access to more than one FHA mortgage lender.
No. Neither requesting, nor receiving, a home loan modification of your mortgage will have any impact whatsoever on your FICO, or credit score. Making payments on time affects your credit score. See more:

FICO scores do not go down to 1.
FHA guidelines do not require a "Minimum" FICO in order to obtain an FHA loan. Many investors that make FHA loans do, however, have a minimum FICO requirement. Contact a knowledgeable Mortgage professional in your area and he will be able to help you with additional information.
Chking your credit report does not lower it ... it actually raises it a few points.. I found this out when I was trying to get a mortgage loan
A home equity loan rate is determined by the total loan amount and the individual's FICO credit score. The total loan amount is based on the net value of the house and the remaining mortgage.
if you check it wount lower your score. If you are applying for a loan and multiple people pull your credit it will drop some.
Generally your FICO score has to be high to get a fast cash loan. A high score to me would be between 700 and up to like 800. There are companies that I have seen that will help with a score of about 500.
I want to buy a 420,000 home I have 200,000 to put down my three scores are 480, 510, and 520. Will I be able to purchase this home and get g good rate mortgage. thanks johnny
