is there a min credit score acceptable for fannie loans

Most lenders require a 620 score for conventional loans. Your income and other debts will be an additional consideration, and at least 10% down payment will be needed. Better terms are available, if you have 20% down.

There are many factors involved - debt-to-income ratio, credit score, cash reserves - we have access to conventional loan products that require as little as 5% down. However, terms will be better with a larger down payment.

Hi Laure, yes most of us need at least a 620 credit score to get you into a FNMA or FHLMC conventional loan. The rate for the 620 credit score would be higher that the rate for the applicant with a 780 credit score....there is typically a .375%-.50% rate differential from low point to high point regarding credit scores.

With conventional loans, the minimum would be 620, however if your putting less than 20% down, you might have a problem getting mortgage insurance, and no MI, no loan.. 660 seems to be the average acceptable score where less than 20% down should be ok for most MI companies.. but understand that it takes more than a credit score to get a loan.. debt to income ratio, type of credit deficiencies, type of income, job time, cash reserves, etc, etc, etc.. without seeing your complete profile, no one here can say if your approved or not.. so my best advice would be to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

The minimum fico score for Fannie Mae home loans is 620, looks like you would be a good contender. I would contact a loan officer to go over a "what if" scenario prior to pulling credit. You will only need 5% down for a conventional loan!Feel free to contact me as I do loans nationwide.Geofrey Merino NMLS 317287geofrey.merino@flagstar.com888-760-8383 ext 230
