All lender fees are to be disclosed and can't change. What can change are third party charges like title and insurance because those are not charged by the lender.

how to get a back owned home approved for financing without faucets and stove?
To replace faucets...you would not use a FHA 203k loan program. The minimum repair cost for FHA 203k is $5,000 and unless you are buying real 100% gold or platinum faucets, I truly hope a plumber would not be charging you $5,000 to install faucets. In a situation like this, an escrow hold back would do just...

Simply put, don't rent to own! They are nothing but scams and with options like FHA (3.5% down payment which can be a gift) or USDA (0% down option) there is no reason you shouldn't be able to come up with some financing. Rent to own is a waste of time and money and 99% of the time a scam!

Ryan,Williams answer is spot on regarding actual removal of MI on FHA loans. With that said, given the market is as hot as it is here in Florida, the value of your home is probably much more than what you originally purchased it for.
