How to Buy a Home With Bad Credit in Hernando, Pasco & Citrus County FL

If your credit score is below 620 — or even below 580 — you may have been told that homeownership is out of reach. That's simply not true. There are 29+ alternative paths to homeownership that most buyers never hear about, and the NHPCP program teaches every single one.

What Credit Score Do You Actually Need?

Conventional wisdom says you need 620+ for a mortgage. But there are other options:

• FHA loans: Available with scores as low as 500 (with 10% down) or 580 (with 3.5% down)
• Owner financing: Seller acts as the bank — credit score is negotiable
• Rent-to-own: Build equity and credit while renting, then buy
• Subject-to transactions: Take over existing financing
• Lease options: Lock in today's price, buy later
• Land contracts: Installment sale directly with owner
