The absolute lowest credit score to get a mortgage is 500. However, this requires a specialized loan type and a larger down payment, and actual limits vary by the specific loan program:

🏦FHA Loans: Allow scores down to 500 but require a 10% down payment. With a score of 580 or higher, the down payment drops to 3.5%

🏘️VA & USDA Loans: Government-backed loans with no official minimum score, though most lenders cap their requirement around 580 to 640.

🏠Conventional Loans: Most lenders require a minimum of 620

HUD housing counseling can help you understand and improve your credit score. Contact us for more
