FHA is  a  great option for multi fam  loans  with low down payments ...downside to  FHA loans  is that there is a  large  upfront mtg ins fee of 1.75%  charged  ( that can be   added to the new loan )  and  also that the monthly mortgage insurance  will be  permanent ( menaing you  have to  refinance the loan  if you want to have this large  fee  removed ) - good luck

If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.
