I HAVE A CREDIT SCORE OF 569 I WAS DENIED BY AMERICA MORTGAGE ,CAN I GO SOME WERE ELSE TO SEE IF I CAN GET APPROVE THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE? HERE DO I GO? EVEN TOUGH THEY HAVE ALREADY PULLED MY CREDIT REPORT?
Hi Rusty,

With a credit score of 569, you will find it very difficult to qualify for a home loan. Lenders now require you to have at least a score of 600+ points to get approved for a loan. I doubt whether any lender would want to offer you a loan until you improve your credit. I think you should first work on your credit. Pay off your debts, remove the negative items from your credit report and pay your bills on time. Once you have a 600+ credit score, you can start applying for a mortgage.

There are some local banks that will work with a lower score if there are other compensating factors. Those factors would be high income and low LTV. For example, I work with a bank that does not use the scores as a deciding factor at all. However, they only lend in the northeast.

well it might be difficult but my husband and I got a loan with a 589 top score......all we had to do was have a reserve savings account with at least 6 months payments in it

Work first on improving your credit scores. If you can no longer wait for that then try out a guarantor loan.
