What are the Kentucky FHA Credit Score Requirements for 2020 Mortgage Loan Approvals?


If you are looking to refinance your mortgage loan, you’ll want to be prepared to meet your lender’s criteria and educate yourself about your FICO® Scores as they are the credit scores most commonly used in the mortgage refinancing process.

As there are different versions of the FICO Score, it’s important that you focus on the FICO Score versions used in mortgage lending. It’s highly likely that the following FICO Score versions will be pulled on all mortgage loan applicants and from all three credit bureaus:

FICO Score 4 based on TransUnion data

  • No matter what you must provide a 2 year employment history. Conventional or Kentucky FHA Mortgage Loan.  Conventional does not always need to be verified with a written work verification form
