FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What Credit Score is needed for a West Virginia manufactured home mortgage?
A: JCF Lending Group is an A paper lender, we need good to excellent credit. Currently our minimum credit score is an Equifax 660. We will look at lessor scores on a case by case basis. In all cases you must have provable income and cannot be currently behind on your bills. JCF primarily uses Equifax Credit, but may also use Experian and Trans Union. We will look at lesser scores on a case by case basis. In all situations, you must have a minimum of 4 years credit history in order to qualify for a mobile home mortgage. There are no exceptions.
Q: What
does the Credit Score Represent?
A: Simply put, the lower the score, the more likely you are to file bankruptcy. The higher the score is an indication that you are not likely to file bankruptcy. Keep in mind the bureaus have no idea of your monthly income, but use other factors to determine your score. The most important factor used in determining your score is your credit card limits in relation to your outstanding balances. The higher the limit, with a low or zero balance, the better. Likewise, a consumer with credit cards at or near the maximum credit limit will equate to a lower credit score. It is also important to know that currently all credit bureaus score somewhat differently. We have seen as much as a 100 point difference between bureaus.
Q: What about consumers with poor or fair credit?
A: Unfortunately, our low rates do not allow for us to make risky loans. There are a few lenders in our industry that will accept customers with fair or poor credit.
