Credit score?
What's the minimum score you need these days to get a loan?
Is it a grey area?

Re: Credit score?
wow, low..
I guess if you want a good rate it would have to be higher.

Re: Credit score?
580 is low- but it would need to be with paystubs and good dti
580 with an explaination- most likely only an FHA

Re: Credit score?
so what kind of rate would you expect?
Someone I know is trying to fix credit and applying for a mortgage.
She said she can get a 4-5% loan with 640. They are trying to get her credit to come up 60 points with her paying off credit cards and getting her accounts current.

Re: Credit score?
it depends what type of loan
sonymae or FHA they could expect in the low 5%
but no one is getting a loan with out their accounts being current

Right, her boyfriend gave her a boatload of cash to get her accounts current.
But she still has the late history.
She is a first time buyer but he isn't. I wonder if that helps or hurts.

Re: Credit score?
she might be able to do a FHA loan
not every bank would be willing
Continental home loans might b/c they bank a lot of their own loans
it doesn't matter that he isn't a first time buyer and she is- makes no difference
