You should also look into refinancing out of the FHA loan into a conforming loan after 6 months of ownership.FHA loans have MIP, which is pretty expensive and effectively increases your interest rate.If you can buy wisely and ride the wave of appreciation, you could have 10% equity in the property fairly quickly and save some money with a lower effective interest rate, even though you will have PMI instead of MIP.If you can get to 20% equity, you can get rid of MIP/PMI altogether.Of course, rising interest rates will affect any refinance strategy.Also, if you refinance, already being told by your company in writing you are being transferred, then you may be exposing yourself to potential federal mortgage fraud issues, by knowingly violating the 12-month owner-occupancy requirement of the mortgage.

How much would you save by refinancing and getting rid of any MIP/PMI - even if interest rate is slightly higher?
