A recent late payment can drop your credit score about 60 points.
Sure, although you may have to come up with a larger down payment than someone with a credit score of 700.
If a person wishes to get a no down payment home loan he or she needs an acceptable credit score so that the loaner is convinced that the person has adequate income to repay the loan. Usually 620 or higher is expected.
My co-worker borrowed funds to hold them on deposit. The funds were verified so she could qualify for her mortgage. It was easy to get the loan with no credit check because she agreed to just hold the funds on deposit. Then she got a down payment assistance program to make her down payment for her, and she just gave back the deposited funds loan proceeds to the lender. It also helped her credit. I know she got the loan with creditloader dot com, but I don't know what kind of down payment assistance she used. Can anyone recommend a down payment assistance program that is still widely accepted? jameswalker@inbox.lv
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.

It is possible, but not certain. 600 is considered a "bad" credit score. You will be charged a much higher interest rate than someone with a good credit score, and may be required to make a larger down payment.

The most important factor in a credit score is paying one's bills on time. Any late payment lowers the credit score, but a higher ratio of on-time payments will raise it. Paying down some debt will also raise the ratio of available credit and raise the credit score.
One will not be able to secure a VA loan for multi-housing with a low down payment and a credit score of 500. Despite the Veterans Association providing a minor backstop (financial guarantee) for veterans, a credit score of 500 will ruin your chances. If possible, get a co-signer, preferably with a better credit record.
It is possible to get a mortgage with a score of 603. However, the interest rate and down payment terms may be very difficult to manage.
With a credit score of 550 it would be almost impossible to get a car loan unless you went to a company that states: 'Good credit, bad credit, with $39 down................'. The downside to places like this is you will have a very high payment and interest rate, but after a year you can show good payment history and refinance.
you credit score will go down if you are not paying your monthly bills on time, in order for you to increase your credit score you have to pay your credit bills on time or in full.
Generally, FHA credit score requirement is 620-640, and 660 for a conventional loan, so yes. The rest depends on your income, debt to income ratio, and down payment.
