Was YOUR Credit Score and Savings strong when getting your first Property??

[Dyryl Burnett]

Greetings All, I'm really desiring to make my first purchase before the close of 2014 but I'm a little worried about my current credit score. I hear different FICO scores everyday and am currently repairing my score. What would you suggest as a min credit score for pre-approval of either a FHA or Conventional loan. Also was your savings high? Did you borrow? DB
