Credit score for investment property?


I want to buy an investment property, my middle score is 580 but I have up to $8k for downpayment (excluding closing costs). How difficult would it be for me to find someone to finance me? (I won't be living on the property).

Before you go jump into investing it is really important to build up your credit score so that you can good loans and rates.. When you're trying to get a solid credit score it's important to get a comprehensive view of what is actually effecting it...

Your Credit Score is calculated with the following breakdown:
35 - Payment History
30 - Credit to Debt Ratio
15 - Credit History
10 - New Credit
10 - Credit Types in Use

If you excel in one area and lack in another, only fixing the areas which you lack are going to improve your score.

I've got a lot of information on my blog about credit scores, and I get a lot of questions so feel free to check out any of my posts on millionster.com; I believe my articles here address many of your concerns but if they don't and you still have any specific questions feel free to leave a comment and I'll reply.
