Middle credit score of 651, can I qualify for a new home mortgage?

With my credit, I make roughly 45k a year and I found a home worth 180k that would be perfect. I have 20k available for a down payment and would like to get a low interest rate if possible. Can I get a home with this kind of situation? Thanks. by pete.t_109_351 from Monroe, Louisiana. Jan 19th 2012 Reply

There is a lot of information missing, however based on the limited information you provided, you should have no problem getting a loan. FHA is the best based on sale price and available cash down payment... FHA requires 3.5%, or $6300 plus costs... contact a local mortgage broker, not a bank and apply with them.. they work with numerous lenders and can find the right one for your particular scenario.

With the information you provided it seems reasonable that you should be able to afford that home. The biggest question that we don't know is what other liabilities do you currently have. This will affect your debt to income ratio which we typically want to keep at or below 41%. Of course we can go higher within reason. I'd recommend contacting a mortgage broker and starting a loan app. This will provide them with the full picture and they will be better able to assist you from there. I hope you find this information helpful. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to speaking with you shortly.

With your credit score, an FHA loan is definitely a possibility and they only require a 3.5% down payment. Many deals are originated where the seller pays most or all of the buyer's closing costs. Contact a local Mortgage Banker/Broker, rather than one of the big banks. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. He/She will have access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can properly guide you. But more importantly, He/She is trained to take a look at the various different options available to you and guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation.
