Why do some sellers dislike FHA offers?
Two reasons: (1) the FHA appraisal can flag repairs the seller has to fix, and (2) the perceived risk of a slower or condition-driven close.
What this actually means.
On well-maintained homes, neither is a real issue. On older homes with deferred maintenance, FHA's appraisal rules can trigger required repairs that VA and FHA face but conventional doesn't.
Where this can move.
Florida insurance premiums, property tax millage and exemptions, HOA dues, CDD fees, county loan limits, and condo approval status can change the answer.
