Notes: 1  When s is a string or Unicode string object the in and not in operations act like a substring test. 2  Values of n less than 0 are treated as 0 (which yields an empty sequence of the same type as s). 3  If i or j is negative, the index is relative to the end of sequence s: len(s) + i or len(s) + j is substituted.
The lowest credit score to buy a house or refinance your mortgage is 500. These new requirements for both FHA and VA went into effect in 2010. 1  Fannie Mae requires a minimum score of 620. 2  Freddie Mac requires a minimum score of 620. 3  FHA requires a minimum score of 500. 4  VA requires a minimum score of 500.
For FHA the minimum credit score is a 580 according to the FHA. Most lenders will not lend to borrowers with scores under a 620-640. I know of a few that will lend down to a 580 credit score, if you want some help locating one.HA will normally require a minimum credit score of 580. This is in contrast to Lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which look for at least 620. Private Financing is available to those with a poor credit score that will not qualify for a Conventional or FHA loan.
