Hello,

That's a loaded question but I'll attempt to answer it. Firslty, I'm going to assume that you're not purchasing a HUD Home which means you'll have to put down atleast 3.5% of your own money to qualify for an FHA loan. The 3.5% donw payment can be gifted from a relative. Next, we need to document your income, employment, assets, etc. To be honest, the best thing to do is gather your documents, sit down with an FHA approved lender and complete a full loan application.

Employment is required.

Many lenders have a minimum score of 620.

There are a couple lenders who have a minmum 500 score. You have to seek them out, which you may be doing with this post.

Need to note in what state the property is located. Not all lendesr lend in every state.

Hello George,

The rates are not bad. The borrower will take a .250 hit to rate for the 560 credit score.

There are several lenders that I am aware of the offer under a 620...most of them are portfolio lenders and will manually underwrite the file regardless of the DU/LP findings. What I have personally experienced is the only canidates for a Refinance or a Purchase under 620 is someone who's problems are over 24-36months old. Typically they are looking for someone with low ratios, no gifts allowed, no co-signers allowed, reserves, and no lates in the last 12-24 months.....

Its a catch 22, if the borrowers had a great payment history, the would most likely be above 620...if they have a few lates, that is probally the reason they are below it now.

It is a slow painful process

Steady employment for two years
Any bankruptcy must be two years old
