Conventional loans are those issued by a lending institution to a borrower. Generally speaking, borrowers should have a âbare minimumâ credit score of 620, but ideally you should have a score closer to the 740 range, according to a Bankrate publication. FHA loans are different from conventional loans in that they are backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
Still, to buy a home aim for a score of at least 620, recognizing that other factors weigh in the decision and that some banks may require a higher score. With an FHA mortgage, however, a FICO score of 600 or higher is enough to qualify for the 3.5% down payment loan.s a rule of thumb, however, a credit score below 620 will make buying a home very difficult with a conventional mortgage. A FICO score below 620 is considered sub-prime. In the past there were mortgage companies that specialized in sub-prime mortgages.
