Good afternoon,I am trying to breakdown the numbers and figure what the maximum amount of house, that I will be able to afford / qualify for ..... based on my 2 years of taxes, credit score , and using a FHA loan Here are my stats.....1.

I improved my credit scored and even took out money from my 401k for a downpayment.

Light doc, but 620-630 min credit score, and a few other things. 

In most cases, the more access to credit the better your score.

I would not have a credit score when I first arrive, but have set aside a cash amount (150 000) to get the ball rolling as they say.

It reads like the King James version of the Bible, but the message is really great.This list is two years old, but just about anything @Brandon Turner recommends means it is a great read. 

You can build a credit score in the US above 700 in 2 years and many lenders will fund you that aren't banks and do low rates, and will base it on the asset, not on you.

I have a very high personal FICO score but I'd like to obtain my next property with very little money out-of-pocket. 

I have a great income and impeccable FICO score, but the trick for me is not using my own money.Thanks!

I'm looking to get FHA financing and my credit score is approx 700ish.
