FHA requires a minimum 580 representative credit score for a primary residence. The maximum loan-to-value ratio is 96.5 percent, which means 3.5 percent down on a $777,202 purchase.
Your housing debt-to-income ratio cannot exceed 31 percent, and your total debt-to-income ratio cannot exceed 43 percent. At the quoted rate and payment, you'd need roughly $20,510 monthly income to clear the housing ratio alone.

04
FHA makes sense in Simi Valley when your down payment is under 20 percent and your credit sits near the 580 floor. The 3.5 percent down threshold opens the door to buyers who'd struggle to save a conventional 10 or 15 percent.
The trade-off is mortgage insurance that can run for the life of the loan. At 96.5 percent LTV, that insurance stays. Over a decade, refinancing to a conventional loan is the common way to eliminate it before payoff.
05
Conventional loans at this price point typically require 10 to 20 percent down and a higher credit score than FHA. FHA's 3.5 percent down and 580 minimum open the door wider—but conventional avoids mortgage insurance entirely at 20 percent down.
FHA's lower entry cost wins when you're short on savings. Conventional's no-insurance structure wins if you can afford the larger down payment and have stronger credit.
