Frequently asked questions

Memphis mortgage
questions answered.

What credit score do I need to buy a home in Memphis?
Credit score guidelines vary by program and lender. FHA loans commonly reference 580 as a threshold for the 3.5% down payment option, and pairing FHA with eligible DPA programs can involve additional requirements depending on the specific program. Subject to AUS findings, lender overlays, and program guidelines — a loan officer can confirm exactly where you stand.
Can I buy a Memphis home with no money down?
Eligible DPA programs may help cover the required 3.5% FHA down payment, creating a potential $0 out-of-pocket path. Final cash to close may still include other costs. Subject to DPA program approval and eligibility.
Can fixed income or disability income qualify for a mortgage?
Yes — Social Security, disability, pension, and fixed income can all be used to qualify when properly documented. Many fixed-income buyers successfully qualify for FHA loans with eligible DPA programs.
What is a DSCR loan and who is it for?
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The property's rental income qualifies the loan — not your personal income. No tax returns required. Built for real estate investors. Credit score and down payment requirements vary by lender — commonly in the 640+ credit range with around 20% down, subject to underwriting.
Why do some cheap Memphis homes fail FHA?
FHA has minimum property standards. Common Memphis issues include roof condition, peeling paint, missing handrails, and structural problems. Alternatives include conventional loans, renovation financing, or seller credits to cover repairs.
