Low Down Payment Conflict

Sean Buchner
  • Buffalo, NY
Posted
Hi, I am currently a college student and am looking to buy a 3-4 bed room home to live in next year (August- May) for my senior year, and rent out the other 2-3 rooms. Obviously August- May is only 10 months and I would spend most of January 8 hours away at home wih my family. Is there anyone from like the FHA that i could talk to in order to negotiate the 3.5% FHA loan, maybe change it to like 5-7% since i will won’t be in the home for the full 12 months? AND/OR Do you guys have any other ideas of low down payment options that would apply to me (either for full time students and/or someone living in the home for 10 months)? Thank you!
