Question: what is the minimum credit score to buy a house in arizona?
Answer: You must have a credit score of at least 580 on the FICO® scale to get that 3.5% down payment, though. If your score falls anywhere between 500 and 580, you'll need to make a down payment closer to 10%. Even with the credit score requirement, an FHA loan is one of the easiest federal programs to qualify for.
