It's possible. Depends on how much under 600 it is, and the "why" behind that sub 600 score. If you've got a poor history of paying your bills (especially recently within the last 12-24 months) then it's going to be really tough.
Speak with a local, reputable lender who can run through your scenario and tell you where you stand. I recommend Bank of America. That's who I work for (in Michigan though) and we have not instituted a minimum credit score requirement like many other lenders, however with a lower score like this be forewarned they're going to scrutinize your qualifications much more to arrive at a lending decision.
Best of luck!
