How much does she make a month? And you need atleast 580 to even qualify for an FHA loan. Does she have any major collections or liens on her credit?

Hi Brian,

Getting a loan with a credit score between 518 and 550 is not possible keeping in mind the present market situation. In case of a conventional loan, borrowers should have a credit score of around 680 and for FHA loan, the borrowers should have a minimum credit score of 580. I think your sister in law should first try to improve her credit score and then apply for loans. To know more about how to improve credit score, check out the following link:

Getting a loan with that credit score is not impossible, however you will need a larger down payment.

Hi,

Yes, I agree with the previous answer by jameshogg. Those scores would have easily gotten your sis n law a mortgage pre-subprime melt down. Not only is the country going to have to change the way it operates, so are individuals. This means understanding how important maintaining your credit has become. Paying debt on time does not guarantee a good credit score, there are at least four other factors to consider.

..As a side note, she could always take the down payment and use on a smaller house til their credit improves.
