570 Credit Score Refinance
A 570 uses streamline refinancing now, and at 50 points from 620, full options are within sight.
A 570 credit score keeps standard and cash-out refinancing just out of reach, since both need 620. For existing FHA or VA loans, a streamline lowers the rate now without a credit re-check. At only 50 points from 620, the full refinance menu, including the ability to pull cash out, is close enough to plan around.
A Short Climb to Cash-Out
A streamline is the active option at 570 if your loan is FHA or VA. It captures rate savings based on payment history, so there is no need to wait for a rate-only goal.
If you want to tap equity, 620 is the threshold, and 50 points is a realistic short climb. Reaching it opens conventional rate-term and cash-out refinancing, giving you the full set of tools.
| Refinance Type | Available at a 570 Score? |
|---|---|
| Conventional rate-term | No (needs 620) |
| Cash-out | No |
| FHA Streamline | Often yes |
| Distance to Full Options | 50 points (to 620) |
What a 570 score changes for Refinance
Credit scores work in bands rather than single points, so the score either side of yours is what decides whether the terms move. Here is what the nearest bands do to a refinance in Florida, and what the same 570 reaches on other programs today.
Drop to 560: Streamline now, 620 reopens the rest. See 560 with Refinance
Reach 580: FHA refinance works; conventional at 620. See 580 with Refinance
If you are close to the band above, it is usually worth asking a lender what it would take to get there before you lock anything in. Paying down a revolving balance is the fastest lever most borrowers have, and it can move a score within one billing cycle.
One thing worth knowing before you read too much into a number: lenders do not use the score you see on a free credit app. They pull all three bureaus and work from the middle score, and on a joint application they use the lower borrower’s middle score. Ask which score a lender is working from before you assume you sit in a particular band.
What else a 570 score reaches

VA Loan at 570: Reachable — just below most overlays.
Conventional Loan at 570: Not yet — 50 points from the floor.
Jumbo Loan at 570: Not available — conventional first.
