What Credit Score Do You Really Need? (DSCR / VA / Non-QM Reality Check)

Most people think credit score is the whole story. It’s not. It’s an important piece, but the full picture matters: down payment, reserves, income documentation, property type, and the program you’re using.

VA can be more flexible than conventional, especially when the overall profile is strong. DSCR loans often care more about structure and property cash flow than people expect, but score still impacts pricing and eligibility. Non-QM has a wide range, and the key is matching the right program to the borrower’s real financial story.
