New FHA rules

There are new FHA rules on the horizon --- Buyers will need to have a minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for a 3.5% down payment. With lower scores there will be a minimum down payment of 10% down. With this --- they have disclosed the average credit score of FHA-insured buyers is 693.

If you have a lower credit score, you may want to jump into the real estate market NOW, these rules are slated to be in effect spring or early summer.
