Difference is... VA no pmi, FHA high pmi with low interest.
I understand that clear. Is this new build in 21 century? Why I couldn't have to paint on the wall to match the decorate?? If move out and can redo on white paint on walls. What do you think?

Wow! I didn't know that. My dad used to have a VA loan the house in 80"s. We moved to other house with wrong color from someone. It's very old house. It need to fix. My dad just died in 1997. I didn't know about 21 century VA's guideline rules. My dad discharged the army from Korea in 70's. Is mortgage different than from past to now?
