How can my FICO/Credit Score affect my mortgage rate

Your FICO and Credit Score are determining factors for your mortgage rate. If you scored between 720 and 850 you are A-Paper. A-Paper means you have good credit, and therefore very little to worry about when searching for a loan. If you scored below 660, you will have a difficult time finding a lender. If you scored below 620, you are Sub-Prime, or Non-Prime.
