What is the lowest credit score you can work with to secure a loan? The answer might surprise you—it's 580. However, let's dive into why I usually prefer not to go below about 620.

Understanding Credit Scores: Your credit score plays a significant role in the homebuying process. It's a measure of your financial health and is used by lenders to assess the risk of lending to you. While a score of 580 is technically the minimum requirement for some loan programs, aiming for a higher score can offer numerous benefits.

Considerations for Lower Credit Scores: When your credit score dips below 620, you're considered a higher risk borrower. This can result in higher interest rates, which, over the life of your loan, can translate to a significant amount of money. Additionally, your options for loan products become limited, and you may be required to put down a larger down payment.

The Importance of Working Together: Rather than rushing into a loan with a lower credit score, I believe in taking the time to work with you to improve your credit score. By spending three to six months dedicated to boosting your score, we can open up a world of better loan products and lower interest rates.
