Understanding Credit Scores.
Many Realtors and Borrowers have been asking me what are lenders looking for in Credit Scores. Times have certainly changes and over the years I have given out many charts with FICO Scores and what they mean. So I now have done a Revised Chart based on todays lending.Nothing is written in stone and I know there will be exceptions to this chart but below are typical requirements and how they affect your credit score. Other factors such as length of employment, savings history and high credit payment history will have some influence on loan approvals, but The CREDIT SCORE (FICO) will have the most impact.
GRADE SCORE AVG.Debt Ratios Max. Loan Amount Approved Percent Of The Country With This Score
A+ 800+ 28 % 95-100 % 13 %
A+ 750-799 36-38 % 95-100 % 27 %
A- 700-749 36-40 % 95-100 % 18 %
B 650-699 45 % 80-95 % 15 %
C 600-649 45 % 80-95 % 12 %
D 550-599 50-55 % 8 %
E 500-549 60% 5 %
F Up to 499 65 % 2 %
Grade Score,Debt Ratios and Max Loan Amountsare based on: Personal observations, lending policies from various investors and willingness to grant approvals. This is also based on Conventional Loan Approvals. FHA, VA and other ... more
