Good news for veterans of the U.S. military and anyone interested in an FHA loan.
It just got easier to qualify for an FHA loan or VA loan if you have less than perfect credit.
With Quicken Loans, you can now qualify for an FHA loan with a credit score as low as 580. That’s one of the lowest qualifying scores you’ll find in today’s mortgage market.
And, veterans and active members of the military can qualify for a VA loan with the low credit score of 620 as well.
Borrowers who meet this minimum credit score criteria can lock in a 30-, 25- (FHA only) or 15-year fixed-rate loan with a VA loan or an FHA loan. This is great news for people who have been unable to qualify in the past because qualifying credit thresholds were higher.
If your credit is at least 580 and you want to take advantage of low home prices and mortgage rates, this is your chance!
One thing mortgage clients need to keep in mind – additional underwriting guidelines to the standard FHA guidelines may apply when qualifying for a loan with a credit score of 580. Contact a Home Loan Expert today to qualify for this unbelievable opportunity!

on the Freshstart program. Score should be at least the minimum required. Need new home yesterday. What can i do to get qualified?
Hello,
Our credit score is a little below the required limit due to a recent (short) job loss in our famiy but my husband was enrolled in school. My husband qualifies for a VA loan. Is there any hope for us when it comes to getting a loan?
Allan, give us a call at 800 710-1755 and a Home Loan Expert can give you a personalized quote.
Stephanie,
You should definitely give it a shot, considering rates are so low. If your credit isn’t there yet, we may be able to help you get it there with some tips. VA is THE way to go if you are a veteran, as there are so many advantages beyond a conventional loan. With rates the lowest they’ve been in decades, it’s definitely the chance of a lifetime to lock in a low rate now. Give us a call at 800 710-1755 and we’ll help you get started.
Is there a way to get a VA home loan if my husband has a low credit scored but mine is high? I am also a student but my husband makes 80 a year. I didn’t notice anything showing late payments on my husbands credit report, would any of this information qualify us at all?
HI Priscilla,
A Home Loan Expert will be in touch with you. Thanks!

Hi Joey, thanks for reaching out to us, I have forwarded your inquiry to one of our home loan experts who will contact you. Thanks
Ok my husband is current active duty military. His ETS is Nov 2013 . We were thinking of purchasing a home in our home town ( where we plan to move once he is released from service). I recently pulled our credit scores and they range from a 580-618 . How hard would it be to get a VA loan on that basis? We have paid off almost all of our installment accounts. Essentially we are trying to clear our payments completely so that we do not have anything beyond houseold bills once he is out. The problem is we do have a couple of late payments. WIll this negate us from any chance of a vA loan?
Let me rephrase my above comment. HIS scores range from 580 to 618. We plan to do it soley in his name as I am justa home maker and have virtually no credit.
Hi Rhiannon, thanks for reaching out to us, we will have one or our home loan experts contact you soon to talk more about your situation. Thanks.
Hi Rhiannon, your email bounced back undeliverable. Our VA loans require a 620 credit score to proceed. We have an internal credit repair team we would be happy to connect you with, please let us know if you are interested. Thanks!
Thanks will do. I am sorry about the bounce back I accidentally put two consecutive L’s in the name. That should be fixed now. WIll definitely be giving a call. Currently trying to do what we can to repair his credit.
I would like tp purchase a home withmy VA but my ex wife is behind in payments and make payments some times up to 3 month late. The house was awarded to her in the divorse but because she dont qualify by her self the back will not remove my name out of it. y score is below 620 I think is around 580 and acording to friend the only thing hurting my chances is the house my ex is living in. I have a good job plus my retirement from the military, my wife have excelent credit but she is not working at this time. We are tire of moving and after 24 years in the military we want to own and finaly settle in our house. Is there anything I can do to have my name of the back release me from the morgage or at least ackolage that I’m not finalcially responsible for that house. We concider a FHA loan but dont have capital need it as this time. The VA ia a better and more finacially responsible for us. Thank you for your time and hope you can point us in the right direction.
Respecfully
