2017 FHA loan requirements - FHA minimum credit score is 500. New FHA policy requires a minimum credit of 500 to buy a home or refinance. In the old days FHA did not require any credit score.
To buy a home you will need a minimum credit score of 500.
Borrowers with credit score above 580 require a 3.5% down payment. The funds can be a gift from a family member and the seller is allowed to pay up to 6% for your closing cost.
If you have credit scores below 580 new FHA changes require a 10%
down payment. The funds can be the borrower's own funds or gifts from an acceptable family member are allowed.

To refinance your mortgage you need a minimum credit score of 500.
Borrowers with a credit score above 580 can refinance up to a 97.5% loan-to-value on a rate and term refinance. And up to 85% cash out refinance with a credit score above 580.
If you have credit score below 580 new FHA changes require a
maximum loan-to-value of 90% for a rate and term refinance. And up to
75% cash out refinance with credit score below 580.
Whether you're planing to buy your first home, refinance, lower your
monthly payments, buy a second home, consolidate debt or get
pre-approved for a mortgage. 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, it's easier for you to qualify for an FHA loan than a for a
conventional loan. Credit scores down to 500 are accepted if there are
compensating factors that offset the credit risk.
