You realize small things like peeling paint can derail a HUD loan?

OP, try looking at a conventional loan with 10% down and pay Pmi up front. Go talk to a smaller local bank or independent mortgage broker.

Agreed.

I sold my last house to a buyer with VA loan and 100% financing. Ended up being a terrible experience as my home didn't meet the agreed-upon sales price during VA inspection, so I had to eat half the difference (luckily the buyers wanted to close as much as we did or it could have been worse). In addition, the closing got pushed back twice due to the VA and their lender not having their shite together, which delayed me from purchasing my new home as it was contingent upon closing on the one I was selling.

I'll never sell to a buyer with a VA loan ever again. If FHA is anything similar in their appraisal/closing process, I would counter with the same thing as these sellers and force my buyer to get a conventional loan or walk away and wait on a new buyer.
