What is the required credit score to get an approval

[njramos169]

for a mortgage? For a conventional mortgage, what should your credit score be? How low can it go for an aproval on a conventional mortgage?

i would think you could get one with a bad rate with a 620 but you need at least a 700 to get a good rate

I know that there may be mortgages that take lower than 620 scores- but you pay more for them. You can get a pre-approval letter where your credit is checked and then you will know how much of a mortgage you qualify for. I can refer you to someone.
