Theoretically, Kentucky USDA Loans are not credit score driven. Borrowers with no credit scores are even eligible for this loan program.  However, most investors that fund USDA Loans want to see a minimum middle credit score of 620. A 640 middle credit score is preferred, since this is the minimum credit score required for a USDA loan to receive an automated underwriting approval through the USDA Guaranteed Underwriting System or GUS.  Better yet, a borrower with a 680 middle credit score, can obtain a "credit waiver" on all minor derogatory credit items, such as late payments on the credit report and small collection accounts. Borrowers with major credit issues such as bankruptcies, short sales, or foreclosures within the last three years will not be eligible for a USDA Loan regardless of the credit score.
