Just looking to compare rates to conventional loans.

I plan on going the conventional route and was quoted interest rates of 3-4%.

As far as financing goes, there are conventional loans specifically for first time homebuyers that you can utilize to put 5% down (giving you the advantages of the conventional loan with the desirable low money down aspect of the FHA).

Will a conventional loan be for 75% of the sales price or the appraised value?

Do these amounts of time vary from Conventional vs FHA?

Conventional Loan What was the outcome?

I have conventional loans on the two NC properties and have owned for less than one year. 

Seller carryback of 20% of purchase price and then conventional loan for the remaining 80%.

My credit is 770+I can qualify for about 615k with a conventional loan, I have about 80k cash to use as well. 

Other parts of Florida are also very low cost of living.2)  In smaller increments than a typical down payment you can get RE syndication shares with a pretty decent cash flow.3)  You can use the Nomad strategy to buy as owner-occupier serially with lower down payment (FTHB, 3.5% FHA, or 5% conventional OO).
