Automated approvals are as good as the data inputted into the computer.  Income, assets, loan amount and appraisal amount are all manually entered.  If incorrect the computer may say approved but it is worthless.

The data entered will be verified by an underwriter.

1) Countrywide does not charge a lot more on FHA if your score is less than 620.
2) Automated approval is a good sign but ALL FHA requires a real person to underwrite it who will most liekly give you additional conditions. 
3) Ask your loan consultant how confident they feel and when you get your disclosure package make sure your application is correct.

Last I know AI3 it was a 2 point hit.  $4k is a pretty significant price you are paying to receive a loan now.

An automated approval only means you get the loan if you meet the conditions that it gives you.

Lenders typically stand by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac automated underwriting results on conforming loans.  FHA is manual human underwriting.

Countrywide direct still offers FHA loans with credit scores less then 620.  However you pay a significant fee for the credit score being less then 620.  You might want to consider holding off and attempting to increase your credit score above 620.
