I want to get a mortgage, but I have a couple of questions. If I have one collection on my credit report thats current and I am paying on, but my middle score is about 588, but I have a co-signer that has excelent credit, but will not live in the house. Am I still able to get approved for a loan

i keep hearing that there are lenders who will work with someone whose credit score is as low as yours. you'll have to check around - probably an area broker can help. most lenders these days want a 620 score at a minimum.

a non-occupant coborrower is allowable on an fha loan only.

we cannot possibly tell you if you'll get approved; there are far too many variables involved in that.

Well put George. Depending on your location, there are a few alternative sources doing loans below the standard 620 mark, but an approval will rely heavily on the compensating factors.

No derogatories within the last 6-9 months and you may have a chance. These approvals are all case by case and nothing is guranteed.

thanks james for clarifying things on the sub-600 deals. if you read some of the posts from others, you'd think that 500 was as much of a slam dunk deal as 700. we all know better, but there are some greedy types out there who'll do anything to wrangle a potential client.

it all comes down to buyer beware, doesn't it?

As george and James suggested is valid. As for minimum credit score required is 620 for FHA.

But there are certain lenders who offer loan on less credit score than 620.
You have to find out locally. Contact several lenders at your area so that you can find the lender who will provide you loan as per your credit score.

This type of lenders are available but you have to find such lenders.
