At This Price, Loan Type Matters

About 1 in 7 Phoenix and Mesa buyers used FHA. FHA caps seller and agent credits at 6% of the price, so a $6,000 rebate fits easily, but it cannot go toward your 3.5% down payment ($14,000 on $400,000). It can cover closing costs and prepaid items, which often run several thousand dollars at this price. See how a rebate works with FHA, VA and conventional loans.
