자주 묻는 질문

What is the minimum credit score for a VA loan in 2026?

The VA sets no minimum, but most lenders require 620 FICO. Freedom Mortgage goes to 550, Fairway to 580-600 with strong income and low DTI.

Can I get a VA loan with a 580 credit score?

Yes, specialty lenders like Freedom or Rocket approve 580s via manual review. Boost odds with DTI under 41%, excess residual income, and clean payments.

Do all VA lenders have the same credit score requirements?

No, they vary from 550 to 640. Shop Veterans United (620), USAA (640), and Freedom (550) for the best match.

How long does it take to improve my credit score for a VA loan?

Expect 50+ points in 3-6 months by dropping utilization under 30%, disputing errors, and adding positive tradelines. Use AI tools for faster disputes.

What if my AUS returns "Refer" on a low score?

It triggers manual underwriting, not denial. Provide reserves, stable job docs, and high residual income; 70% approve.

Does a VA loan require private mortgage insurance?

No, VA loans have no PMI regardless of credit score or down payment (which can be 0%). This saves $100+ monthly vs. FHA or conventional.
