Scores needed to apply

Posted on: 11th Jul, 2012 01:42 am
I'm planning to apply for a mortgage after October. What is the score needed to apply? I have a 635, 601, and 596 now.
Hi Unna,

With the scores that you have you may get FHA loan. Such loans are available at a credit score of around 620. However, your scores are quite low if you're thinking of applying for a conventional loan.

Take care

You may be eligible for an FHA loan but it will be difficult to get approved for a conventional loan. You must try to improve your credit score in the meanwhile.
