What's the Difference Between FHA and Conventional Loans?

by Jonathan T Webb

FHA vs Conventional loans in Mississippi — which is better?

  • FHA: requires 3.5 % down, allows lower credit scores (580 +), and offers easier approval.

  • Conventional: requires 5 % + down, no upfront MIP, and better rates for high scores.

FHA fits first-time buyers needing flexibility, while Conventional works best for long-term ownership and higher scores.
