Ahh! Excellent news! I don't have time to be fully up to speed on mortgage guidelines, so whenever I see a down payment under 10% I assume its FHA. Congrats on the new home!

Thank you. Our lending officer and real estate agent are awesome folks, so if you're ever looking for real estate in the DFW area, let me know. We were complete novices coming in and left understanding enough to practically sell homes ourselves. Plus the previous homeowner was a great guy and worked with us a lot, so we really got lucky with this one.

It's increasing common to see non-FHA loans in the 3% ballpark (among anecdotal evidence from my friends and coworkers who've recently purchased). My gut keeps telling me something is wrong, but no other indicators seem to agree.
