Loan terms and rates are determined by credit scores. Following is a guideline table for loan % to value on sub-prime conventional loans:
Credit scores | Loan % to Value | Down payment required |
600-620 | 100% loan to value | No down payment |
560-580 | 90-95% loan to value | 5-10% down payment |
550-560 | 85-90% loan to value | 10-15% down payment |
535-550 | 80-85% loan to value | 15-20% down payment |
500-535 | 80% loan to value | 20% down payment |
In addition to demand for increased down payments, a lower credit score dictates higher interest rates. Bad credit can cost you thousands of dollars over the life of a home mortgage loan. That is an unfortunate reality for the majority of American consumers.
