As you can imagine, home buyers in Odenton, MD, frequently take advantage of VA loans. I'm pretty sure that this is one of the few communities around where VA loans exceeded Conventional loans for home purchases in September, 2009.
Of course, Ft. Meade, home to the NSA is the cause of so many VA loans.
In September, 2009 though, FHA loans were at the top of the list with 10. This loan type is very attractive for first time home buyers since it only requires 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment.

It wasn't all that long ago that FHA loans were rejected by sellers in Crofton, MD pretty routinely. Look what happens when the market turns.
