One thought on “Credit Score Information For Kentucky Home buyers

  1. Reblogged this on Kentucky FHA Mortgage Loans Guidelines and commented:

    What Will My Lender Use?
    FICO is used by 90% of lenders, according to myFICO, and has been around since 1989. (VantageScore only hit the scene in 2006.)

    If you’re not sure which scoring model a lender will use, just ask!

    USDA loan: Most lenders prefer at least a 620
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture insures for low- to moderate-income homebuyers. The USDA does not set a minimum credit score requirement and does not require a down payment.
    Conventional loan: 620
    Conventional loans aren’t insured by a government agency either, but they are covered by mortgage loan companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The down payment amount varies.
    VA loan: Most lenders prefer at least a 580
    A Veterans Affairs loan is backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and meant for military members and their spouses. These loans don’t require a minimum score or money down.
    FHA loan: 500 (with 10% down payment) or 580 (with 3.5% down payment)
    FHA loans, those guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, are for higher-risk borrowers who have poor credit and little money saved for a down payment. The credit requirements can fluctuate based on how much of a down payment you can afford.Most lenders have overlays now wanting a minimum 620 credit score even for FHA loans.
    Are you interested in seeing how your current credit score might affect a new mortgage? Let’s take a look together.
