Great, you should be able to get a conventional loan. If the lender is not giving you the answers to your questions or they are treating it as a "take it or leave it" loan. Go to a different mortgage lender.

More info needed, but in general, your credit score and down payment has to be higher.. With FHA, there's little difference in the interest rate between a 620 credit score borrower and a 750 borrower. Maybe a quarter point or so.. but for conventional, the difference can be as much as 1.5%.. and unless your a first time home buyer, you will need 5% down for conventional, and the mortgage insurance is also tiered based on your credit scores.. so again.. if your credit scores are high.. 720 or higher,or your putting 20% down or more, then conventional might be a better option.. otherwise, you should stick to FHA..
