I’m in the situation which expressed at the bottom but I wasn’t aware of Freddie Mac I will look in to it thank youOriginally posted by @Chris Mason:@Stephanie Potter and @Russell Brazil are both on point.Something I'll add:FHA is often the "whoops" backup plan.For example suppose you have a 642 FICO score and I send you out house hunting with conventional in mind.Three months later you go under contract and "whoops" your FICO dropped a few points.

We have an experienced corporate attorney in the environmental and pharmaceutical industries on our founders team but are currently lacking a fund specific RE attorney & CFO (but have we have a connection with an experienced hedge fund manager who has expressed interest in joining our team and we are currently interviewing interim candidates on toptal).

And when we travel out there we stay at that Holiday Inn Express right there in Lynnwood. 

If the undocumented/illegal residents are the only ones who have expressed interest... that's a tough call.

I'm going to express a different viewpoint and say that if you've reached "enough", you'll know it.

Some will, some won't.I like the DR Horton Express product..which is probably that $225,000 price point you mention. 

@Michael Plaks BP programmers have got to allow for "reactions" that are more expressive than a vote! 

Your whole paycheck, any side-business money, all your emergency funds.Some people are afraid of this philosophy, and there are a few reasons to express a certain amount of caution, but if you make more than you spend, you won't be hurt by this philosophy. 

You're among friends here, so expressing your frustration is fine. 

I don't have the answers I am just expressing what I see in the numbers...
