David - let me help:FHA Loan - is just a product type it is not any different from a 203b conventional loan, other than having a renovation component you can use to find a fixer upper and not have to be exposed to out of pocket construction cost using only 3.5% down, even with PMI for an owner occupant this is a killer product.
