Family details is important so they know what bedroom sizes will work and won't.

But you'd always want to talk to the city right away (or county) and find out the development standards for the zoning that the lot is in (what are the setbacks, height limit, min lot size, etc).

The smaller the loan size, the more you should consider paying a few points at closing so you are not looking to do another refi any time soon.

As mentioned it can be difficult to get another FHA loan if you have one currently unless you have a job transfer, family size increase, etc.
