Can a person get homeowner's insurance with poor credit?

1. Eligibility is not an issue.
2. It might impact the premium, but many states prohibit to use credit score to rate insurance premium. So, it depends.
3. If you fail to pay the premium then policy will lapse at some point. Then bank will buy you home insurance at your expense and that one will be much more expensive compare to one you buy yourself. So, your failure to pay is not much of a risk to the bank.
4. The funny thing is that as many times as I've seen that questions asked by insurers nobody asked for a proof (unlike many other rating factors). Looks like it is not considered to be really important.

Yes, but it costs a WAY lot more. Foremost specializes in poor credit homeowners. You can find an agent in your area by going to their website, www.foremost.com. You can also buy directly from them, but I'd suggest going through an agent, because after a year or two you'll be in a better position to ask the agent to see if they can switch you to a standard carrier.

** a few comments on some other responses. No one ASKS for proof of credit score, because each company pulls their own. They have their OWN proof in file. Every state EXCEPT California allows credit scoring for rate determination AND eligibility - if your score is below 500, you will likely not be ELIGIBLE with any carrier. Lastly, if you rely on the "mortgage company" to buy your "homeowners insurance" - surprise! Although it might cost 2-3X what your own policy costs, it doesn't cover YOUR liability, YOUR contents, or YOUR interest in the house. In other words, it ONLY pays the mortgage company, and ONLY up to the balance on the mortgage. And THEY aren't going to fix the house for you.**

Yes, because ins premiums must be paid in advance.

Yes you can. You are going to pay more because of the bad credit but you will be able to get it. The best thing to do is call an independent insurance agent and ask them if they have anything available.

Almost anyone can get homeowners insurance unless you've had a large amount of claims in the past. That doesn't necessarily mean the rates will be what you'd expect. Credit takes its tole on everything nowadays and unfortunately credit is used to verify what premium individuals will pay. It's not always fair, but it's how insurance works.

Yes. In some states credit is not a factor for rating. So a person with excellent credit pays the same as one with bad.
