Before you choose
Lender overlays on credit score and debt-to-income differ, and property condition rules can complicate older homes.
- What minimum credit score do you accept for FHA, with or without overlays?
- How do you handle FHA appraisal repair requirements?
- What will mortgage insurance cost over the life of the loan?
How this list is ranked
Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a IL license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), IL is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=fha&state=IL. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
