The big idea

Do sellers prefer a conventional offer over an FHA offer?

Your loan type changes how sellers see your offer.

FHA, VA and USDA loans are great loans, but the home has to meet their condition rules, and sometimes the seller has to fix things first.
That's why, in a busy market, conventional and cash offers can look simpler to a seller.
