The Motley Fool released an article by Steve Nicastro, reporting that a VA Home Loan or USDA Home Loan might be a better option, rather than an FHA Home Loan.
“While there are still a few advantages (mainly, the low down payment and the ease of qualifying), the costs of mortgage insurance on an FHA loan are getting expensive. In most cases, your alternatives might be the better bet,” The Motley Fool reports.

The easiest way to shop for a mortgage is to use a good mortgage broker, who will review you finances and explain your options.
