Credit & Down Payment Options

Flexible Financing. Built Around Your Financial Picture.

Conventional loans offer down payment options as low as 3% to 5% for qualified buyers. Many lenders look for 620+ FICO, but Fannie Mae automated underwriting has no minimum credit score. Lower scores in the 400s or 500s may be possible with a larger down payment and sufficient reserves, subject to lender requirements.
