Home Buyer 578 Credit Score

First time home buyer 578 credit score Florida

FHA minimum credit score is 500.

New FHA policy requires a minimum credit of 500 to buy a home. In the old days FHA did not require a minimum score. These changes went in to effect in 2010.

To buy a home you will need a minimum credit score of 500.

Borrowers with scores above 580 require a 3.5% down payment. The funds can be a gift from a family member and up to 6% seller concession is allowed. 12 months of on time rental history or on time mortgage payment history will be required for scores below 640. If you do not have verifiable payment history 3 months of reserves will be required. Reserves must be the borrower's own funds.

FHA loans have been helping people become homeowners since 1934. A perfect credit score is not needed for an FHA loan approval. In fact, even if you have had credit problems, such as a bankruptcy, short sale, foreclosure, it's easier for you to get an FHA loan. FHA allows home buyers 3.50% down payment with 580 credit score. If you have credit scores below 580 new FHA changes require a 10% down payment.
