You can buy a home and get a good interest rate with a credit score of 620. Family income and debt to ratio are other things a lender will look at. A home is a very good investment and in the current market you can find really good deals.
If your credit score is 580 or above you have options. If your credit score is 620 or above you have better options. If your credit score is 740 or above you have the best options. A 695 score will give you the same rate as a 740 with an FHA loan, but not with a conventional loan. See a loan officer to explain the differences and yuor options when you are ready.
