How much higher is the interest rate for conventional if my credit falls just below 720?

and how much of a difference would it make on monthly payments for a 30 year $100,000 loan.. i don't know if i should see a credit counselor first or if its worth it by pete.t991carlson696 from Owensboro, Kentucky. Dec 18th 2013 Reply

About .335% up to .5% depending on the bank, lender, or investor.

Should be less than $10 per month difference in payment.

I suggest moving forward, interest rates are likely to increase while you are working to improve your score so you wouldn't necessarily improve your situation first. I have a blog posting on this site that has some basic suggestions that might help to bring your score up, check it out.

It would depend on your loan to value also. What is your loan to value ?
