Hello all,

I was thinking about applying for FHA loan, but the housing counselor advised me that it would better if I applied for SONYMA instead (to avoid paying the upfront FHA fee). If anyone has experiences with SONYMA to share that would be great. Is there any cons that I should know about?

I was looking at getting a SONYMA loan, but ended up getting a better rate on a conventional loan. Make sure you look at all loan options.

I don't have enough down payment, that's why I am looking at FHA and SONYMA.
