Credit Score Requirements Going UP!

There are Great Options for Veterans!On December the 12th, Fannie Mae is changing it’s “Computer Program” to reflect a new minimum credit score requirement for mortgages of 620.

This is SIGNIFICANT because VA Mortgage Loans, FHA Mortgage Loans and USDA Rural Development loan guidelines indicate that the Government will insure loans with scores substantially lower than this… however, if a loan is approved lower than 620, it can not be sold through Fannie Mae.

This means that lenders will not be making loans were scores are this low, because they need the ability to sell the loan if times change!
