What credit score do I need for an investment property loan?

Short answerConventional investment-property loans typically require scores around 680 to 720 or higher, with the best pricing reserved for the top tiers. DSCR loans are more flexible, with many lenders working in the 660 to 700 range, though pricing improves with higher scores. Lender guidelines vary, so a lower score does not always mean no options.

The details

Investment property pricing includes loan-level price adjustments for credit score, so even small score gains can meaningfully cut costs.

If your score is borderline, a few months of balance paydowns before applying can move you into a better pricing tier.
