What kind of income requirements and credit score do I need to buy a house?

SO much depends on the price of the house. And the location. Housing is far, far cheaper in Arkansas than it is in California.

But no mortgage company is going to give you a loan with that credit score and that income. $836/month is just about $10000/year income, and that is before food, auto costs, insurance, utilities and a host of other stuff.

Goal 1: Make more money. You need more income.

Goal 2: Get you credit sore up to the 650–700 range at least.

Goal 3: Look for a house you can afford.

Don’t even think of #3 until you have #1 and #2 under control.

Ok thank you

I agree with @elbanditoroso 100%. You may consider ordering a Dave Ramsey book, which tells you step by step how to gain financial security.

Also, most homeowners choose to improve their credit before buying a home because the loan rate will be better.
