Yes — FHA is built for borrowers with imperfect credit. Many lenders allow 580+ for 3.5% down, and some files with 500–579 can still work with 10% down. Ryan and Steve review overlays, compensating factors, and manual underwriting paths so a lower score does not automatically end your home search.

FHA guidelines and lender overlays create multiple paths — not just one score cutoff.

Focus on the levers underwriters actually weigh — not vanity score chasing alone.

We match your score, cash, and timeline to the FHA lenders and paths that actually fit.
