FHA Loan Below 620

Profile picture for lilAngel7k
My current credit scores are in the low 600s and one is at a 586. My debt to income ratio is below 5%. The reason my scores are as low as they are is because of medical bills I have been fighting with my insurance company to pay. I have one credit card that is paid off twice a month and one student loan that I am current on. I paid off my car to get my debt to income ratio down but now because of the medical bills (two of them) my score dropped. Is it still possible for me to be able to get an FHA loan?? Any information would be great.

It is unfortunate that medical bills have impacted your scores so dramatically. There are a few lenders that will consider FHA loans with scores in 500's, and though most files would not fit their overlays it would appear that yours would. If you would like a referral let me know.

It is a case by case decision, but there is atleast one company that I am aware of that will allow for credit scores of less than 620 on FHA loans, but you cannot have any late payments in the last 12 months.  If the medical bills report as late payments, I am not aware of a lender that will help.  You will want to find a trusted lender that can help you work through the process.  Be aware, that because of your scores, the interest rates available will be slightly higher than the going market rate.   

Best of Luck..

lilAngel7k,

It is possible.  I represent a lender that will go down to as low as a mid 600 FICO score.  However, each FHA loan is approved on a case by case basis so there is no guaranty it would be approved.  Feel free to email me offline if you want to talk about your situation.

Good luck!
