Central Bank doesn’t disclose specific requirements to qualify for a conventional mortgage. Typically, mortgage applicants must meet minimum credit score requirements, show proof of stable income and have an acceptable debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Central Bank notes on its website that its FHA loans require a 640 credit score and a DTI under 43%.
What Credit Score Do You Need?
Central Bank doesn’t list its minimum credit score for a conventional loan, but lenders typically require at least 620. Central Bank’s minimum credit score for its FHA home loan is 640. That’s higher than the minimum score set by the Federal Housing Authority, which is 580 for a loan with 3.5% down.
