The Key to Buying a House Even if You Have Bad Credit

You might think that having a credit score in the 500s would keep you from buying a home. But that isn’t always the case.

Depending on your circumstances, you may have lending options that make it possible to overcome that bad credit barrier when buying a home.

What Credit Score is Needed to Buy a Home?

The minimum credit score you need to buy a home will vary based on a few factors: - The type of mortgage you want - The lender you’re asking - Who you are

Certain types of home loans allow you to qualify with a lower credit score while others require a higher score.
