In fact, one of the most common questions we receive is, “Can I get a VA loan with bad credit?”
The short answer is yes, it is possible to get a VA loan with bad credit. For VA loans, borrowers often need a FICO score of at least 620, but the VA doesn?t mandate a minimum credit score requirement and some lenders may be willing to go below that common 620 cutoff.
