Low/HighFICO Scores What are Risk Units for a borrower?
Freddie Mac has given us an indication of low vs. high scores on their Gold Measure Worksheet. • The following scale assesses Risk Units (RUs) for a borrower: • Some description: • Borrowers with a score above 760 are in the "high" range. The score is positively compensating. • Borrowers with a score between 680 and 760 are in the "mid" range. The score does not add anything to the files, but does not detract. • Scores from 680 to 620 are low but can be acceptable.
Continued: • Approvals must be justified carefully and files documented thoroughly. • Scores below 620 are very "low" and may not be acceptable for conventional financing. • A score below 600 is probably prohibitive.
