Sub 620 FICO Score FHA Lenders

mortgage

FHA Only Option For Some

The FHA loan program is the only viable option for many mortgage applicants who no longer qualify under Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines.  Most of the larger lending institutions have implemented a minimum FICO score requirement of 620 for FHA loans.   Here are some lenders that are still doing sub 620 FICO score mortgages.

US Bank

US Bank is a premier major direct lender that operates nationwide.  I have dealt directly with US Bank and they are a well run and reputable bank offering a wide range of mortgage products.  According to Scott Lambert, a seasoned US Bank Mortgage Loan Officer, US Bank “offers a no minimum credit score requirement on our FHA and VA programs”.   Scott’s background  and service pledge follows:

I have over 10 years of mortgage banking experience. Selecting an experienced Mortgage Loan Officer is just as important as what company qualifies to be your financial partner. We’re proud of our reputation as a strong bank and millions of people have selected us as their financial partner.

My promise to you is that I will put my years of experience to work for you! I will help you analyze what mortgage programs may be the best solution for you. I promise to provide honest and dependable service. Our reputation depends on it!

Do Your Homework

Keep in mind that lenders sometimes promise more than they can deliver. Sub 620 FHA loans are difficult to get approved so do your homework.   Check out the lender with your state banking department and talk to several different lenders before deciding where to apply.

  17. JLEW3473 says

    Please send me an email to jlewis3473@comcast.net if you can help.

  18. Sally Richey says

    Kevin Blake at one time was associated with Lend America which recently shut down operations. Don’t deal with this person or any other loan officer that has had any ties with Lend America, you will be disappointed. I know from personal experience. My husband and I lost earnest money on a property which Lend America had promised us financing on. We still have the approval letter and all of the documentation. DO NOT DEAL WITH ANY LEND AMERICA ASSOCIATES!!

  19. Iclosefha says

  26. Time to own says

    My credit score is in the mid-500’s and I am in the health care field. I am a first-time home buyer looking to qualify for a FHA loan ASAP. My income & job stability are excellent. I am working on my debt. I am also interested in the MyCommunity Loan Program. If you can help me please email me @ apilispencer@hotmail.com. In Ohio.

  27. Whatever you do, DO NOT CLEAN-UP your credit/Dispute your credit with any of the bureaus once you receive a pre-approval for an FHA loan from your lender. If you have any information that indicates a dispute filed with the credit bureaus, it can affect the amount of your loan or even worse, stop you from final approval on the loan right as you go to close on your home.

  28. We are repairing our credit scores and want to buy a house. My credit score has improved enough to qualify for a loan, but my spouse’s is just under the 620 fha minimum–even though he had paid off all outstanding debts. We have a combined income of $180K+, and all our bills are paid ontime. We have $10K to put down, and have put $2K down+another 5K in deposits on a new dr horton home being built. I got qualified to purchase the home with my own credit score and income, but I really need my spouse to be on the mortgage with me. His current equifax score is 598. Can someone help us get a mortgage–fast??

  29. Do you need this assistance and do not know how to go about this? Do you have bad credit but need financing and really need it badly,do not look for help where there is none ,come to the masters today and be free from all financial shackles.

    New Jersey resident here. My wife and I make a Combined 104K and house is valued at 350K with no mortage. Our credit scores are below 550 however. My daughter, currently a student and unemployed, has a Score of 700. If my daughter co-signs Would we qualify for a loan?

    Or would it be better if my Daughter applied for a loan and my wife and I co-sign for her due to our income?

    Is there a lender that can help us? ASAP 🙂

His score is above 620, mine is between 520 & 585, last few checks.

Looking to buy in San Bernardino County, or anywhere west of San Bernardino, CA that is within 5 miles of a MetroLink station. We are buying with my mom & brother, so looking for duplex that has at least 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms in each unit, with 2 car garage for each unit. Brother makes about $25,000 a year and mom gets $865/mo SSD/SSI, combined.

  49. Katherine says

    My husband and I are looking for our first house for us and 3 kids. His credit score is 600 while mine is 578, with improvements being made. We have no CC, no loans and so no good debt, only some delinquent accounts from moving cross country which we are paying.
    We are OK making a down payment, no problem, but need to know if anyone does sub 620 loans for either FHA or USDA in the northern MN area.
    If someone can help or has advise, please contact me as we are getting prepared to shop and need a loan in about 6 months.
