Be sure to talk to them about 3% down conventional loans, because FHA loans are notoriously difficult, and sellers will prefer a conventional over an FHA, because the FHA appraisal requires the seller to fix little things like peeling paint, broken window panes, loose handrails, etc. while conventionals typically do not.Some borrowers are approved for a higher loan amount through FHA than conventional, but I believe the MIP is generally higher.Also, this is something your agent should be helping you with.
