686 Credit Score Mortgage

Options for getting a mortgage loan with 686 Credit score

With your good 686 credit score, you could expect quality mortgage programs and competitive rates & terms. Conventional mortgages, Jumbo, Super Jumbo, FHA, Va, USDA, and Non-QM loans are at your fingertips, and every lender in the country will try to compete for your business.

Best rate & terms for your 686 credit score

Your credit score does not guarantee you will get your loan approved. LTV, Income stability, cash reserves, location, Debt to Income ratio, Co-borrowers, property type, property conditions, and ten other factors may help or prevent you from getting the loan you need. Timing is another factor to consider, and unfortunately, big banks are often slower than alternative smaller lenders.

Private money lenders for credit score 680-719 686

When you need a mortgage fast and can't wait for bank approval, your only option is to look for private lenders (Hard Money). It is a misconception that only borrowers with bad credit are using hard money loans. Banks must have your tax returns and full financial records before they approve your loan, regardless of credit. When time is of the essence, getting a private money loan could be much more beneficial than letting an opportunity slide by because of bank latency.

Owner-Occupied Residential Non-Owner-Occupied Residential Commercial Hard Money Vacant Land
Max Loan to Value 66.23$ 66.33$ 67.03% 53.52%
Programs Hard Money Hard Money Hard Money Hard Money
Points 1.75 2.48 2.23 2.54
Rate 9.98% 10.87% 10.38% 12.07%
Loan terms 1—5 years 1—10 years 1-10 years 1-3 years
Property Condition Any Any include Fixer-Upper Any Unentitled land- reduce LTV to 32%

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

A small percentage of mortgage brokers could take advantage of your great credit score 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.
