417 Credit Score Mortgage

A hard money mortgage loan with a 417 Credit

With a 450 417 credit score, your only option for a mortgage is through private money investors, aka hard money lenders. Other types of loans are entirely off limits regardless of your income, cash in the bank, or low LTV. You will need to raise your credit score to at least 500 and preferably 580 to become eligible to obtain a HUD FHA loan, or a subprime loan.

Despite having a poor credit score of 417, private investors through hard money brokers will lend you money to purchase a new property or refinance the existing property as long as you have a large down payment or enough equity in the property.

The Rates & Terms depend on the Loan-to-Value, credit, property location, condition, and local real estate market condition. Unlike the FHA loan, which has standard underwriting, private money loan programs differ significantly between lenders. It behooves you to contact and get quotes from at least three lenders before you make a decision. See a list of potential hard money lenders or use the Lendersa form to shop for your loan simultaneously with hundreds of private money lenders.

How mortgage brokers rip you off

417 is a low score; unfortunately, a small percentage of mortgage brokers could take advantage of your credit disadvantage by trying to charge you an arm and a leg. Therefore, it would be best if you compared 3-10 lenders' programs before deciding on the best lender, thus avoiding mortgage brokers' rip-offs and loan sharks.
