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.
Credit History and Score Requirements. For those interested in applying for an FHA loan, applicants are now required to have a minimum FICO score of 580 to qualify for the low down payment advantage, which is currently at around 3.5 percent. If your credit score is below 580, however, you aren't necessarily excluded from FHA loan eligibility. Applicants with lower credit scores will have to put down a 10 percent down payment if they want to qualify for a loan.
