Question: what credit score do you need to buy a home in nc?
Answer: There are two credit score thresholds for a USDA Home Loan NC approval. The Automated Underwriting system (GUS) is good at approving borrowers who have a credit score of 640 or higher. For buyers with credit scores in the 600 – 639 range, GUS will not issue an approval, and those loans require Manual Underwriting.
