Getting A Mortgage with a 590 Credit Score

A credit score of 590 should give you a solid chance in finding a mortgage based upon today’s lending guidelines. Your credit score is a major factor in not only whether you can find a loan, but also what your rate will be. Your credit score also opens and closes various loan program options. It can also close a few doors if your credit score is too low.

If you have a credit score of 590 you will have the ability to not only find a conventional loan but also VA, FHA, USDA and bank statement loans for self employed borrowers. A score of 620 is preferred but we have developed relationships with some of the best lenders over the past 15 years who can still get it done at 590. Let us help you to find the right program with the lowest rate possible.

Below are some loan options for individuals with a 590 credit score. Keep in mind that as scores get below 600, some of the requirements below may also change.:
