Guys…FHA has announced it’s making some guideline changes.

Here’s a summary:

The upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium is increasing from 1.75% to 2.25%.

Seller credits to be applied to buyers costs are decreasing from 6% to 3%.

This seller credit change is an attempt to reduce the pressure to inflate the appraised value to cover the seller credit.

The answer is yes and no.  You’re not able to apply the $8000 (or 10% of your purchase price) as your exclusive  DP.

For an FHA loan…you need 3.5% of your own money down.  You can apply the 8k or any portion of the credit over and above your own 3.5% down.

In a nutshell…you (the buyer) need some “skin in the game.”

Hope this helps!
