Cash on hand seems low. Last i looked, FHA required 3.5% down, plus you will need closing costs as well.

If you go traditional loan you will need a min of 5% down.

Only loan i can think of that is still 100% financing is a Rural Development loan, and since you want center of city, you will not find that available in the city.

On a $200k house, 3.5% down + closing will be in the $10k out of pocket range, unless u can get the seller to pay some or all of the closing costs.
