House hack: Too many steps to buy a home with FHA loan?

[Jose Aguilar]

Hello all,

I am speaking with a loan officer in regards to house hacking with FHA loan and they keep recommending I use a conventional, due to the fact that there is too many extra steps associated with FHA loan and sellers typically deny the buyer and do not want to do these extra steps. I'd like to utilize FHA loans the best I can, what kind of insight could you guys provide for me? Should I privately contact the seller first? Thanks it advanced!
