How Credit Impacts Your Homeownership Journey

Most mortgage lenders require a minimum credit score of 620 for conventional loans. FHA loans may accept 580+ with a larger down payment. The higher your score, the better your interest rate — which can save you tens of thousands over the life of your loan.
