I like to use local lenders because they will know the rental market and local agents will know the lender can get the financing done making your offer slightly stronger over using a national lender. 

He was the most onerary, self centered person you could meet. 

They require a lot of capitol as well as cooperation from the local city and/or county.

This can add up.Property Standards: The house has to meet certain standards, which might limit your choices in a competitive market like LA.Loan Limits: There’s a cap on how much you can borrow with an FHA loan, which might not cover the higher-priced homes in LA.My Take:If you’re set on buying now and can handle the extra costs, FHA could work.

You should speak to a few local lenders and see if they have a product that might work for you.
