is it possible for a first time home buyer with a credit score of 586 to obtain a loan to purchase a home?... Have been on job over two years, no revolving accounts. Only 3 small medical bills on report.
Hi mrsjcobb,

With a credit score of 586, it will not be possible for you to get a loan though you've been on job for over 2 years. You'll have to improve your score first in order to get a loan. You would require a score of 700 in order to qualify for a conventional loan. For FHA loans, you would require a score of 620.

Thanks

Hi mrsjcobb,

There's hardly any help available for people with little or no credit. However, if you've a cosigner with a good credit score and income, then you may be able to get a loan.

Thanks

Yes it is possible. There are lenders the will lend on sub 620 credit scores but, you will need to do your research.
