The VA itself has no minimum credit score requirement, but most lenders (including us) require a minimum 580-600 credit score for VA loans in Henderson. With a 620+ score, you'll have access to the best rates and easiest approval.

Credit score tiers for Henderson VA loans:

...can offset lower credit scores. We specialize in helping veterans improve credit and qualify for VA benefits in Henderson.
