Here is a free book about credit. You may be able to get your score over 620 pretty quick.

You know...in all honesty...if you need some time to get your credit score in a "better place", maybe you should consider a "lease purchase"...I know most agents don't like these type transactions...but we are living in a "different world" right now...and if negotiated correctly...a lease purchase contract could be a good solution for you.

The very best person to answer this question is a lender. They will need to pre-qualify you for a home

FIRST ANSWER

620 is fine for an FHA with 3.5% down & some lenders are able to take 580-585 depending on other factors. your best option is to sit down with a reputable local lender to discuss your situation.
