Questions & Answers

What is the lowest credit score you work with?

We work with all types of credit scores. If you are buying a primary residence, a 580 credit score is recommended, but some of our clients can get approved down to a 500 credit score. We even offer loans for buyers with no credit scores, through our nontraditional credit program. In most cases A 740 credit score will qualify you for the best interest rate with the lowest closing costs available.

How much of a down payment will I need with traditional loan programs?

Qualifying first time home buyers are only required to put down a 3% down payment. FHA loans require a 3.5% down payment. You will need a 20% down payment to avoid mortgage insurance with traditional loan programs.
