Beginning November 16, Fannie Mae is removing the 620 minimum credit score requirement from its Desktop Underwriting system. Here's what you need to know right now:
📌 What's changing: No more 620 requirement could open doors for more borrowers (especially those with limited or no credit history) to qualify for a Conventional loan!
📋 What's staying the same: Lenders still evaluate income, assets, debt, and credit history to assess risk.
💡 The bottom line: A strong credit score still matters! Your overall financial picture, including employment history and ability to repay, remains critical to approval.
Keep building those healthy financial habits, and you'll be in great shape when you're ready to buy. 🎯
