What is the difference between a conventional loani and an FHAi loan?
A conventional loan requires you to place a down paymenti of between 5% and 20% of the selling price of the home you want to buy. However, with loans insured by the Federal Housing Administrationi (FHA) you can qualify for a mortgage with as little as 2.5% down. Loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairsi (VA) require no money down.
