Aloha - You have a large learning curve ahead of you and the best way is to find a Realtor that you enjoy working with and they can recommend a good mortgage broker who can help you with your FHA loan. I can put you in touch with Realtors in your area if you like.

seem, there are bad internet lenders and good internet lenders. There are bad local lenders and good local lenders. Picking a company and researching their history is important. Picking a LO is even more important. Referrals are the best. However, if you don't know of anyone, the internet can be very helpful. Not only does it allow you to research the company, but it allows you to research the LO... and this is a very good tool.

You are being discredited because your initial advice was horrible. However, your advice now is much better. Think twice before you discredit internet lenders on an internet site with lenders...
By, the way....I don't lend in Texas. I am a Maryland lender and I only quote in Maryland. There are many internet lenders on here that lend nationally and many other local lenders that are sound. This is why Zillow offers the opportunity for customers to leave feedback.
Linda, you are obviously new to Zillow and don't understand how the Zillow lending side works. Do us all a favor and stick with real estate.

Seemazeem, Texas has it's own rules when it comes to financing loans, and not all Internet lenders are savvy to this. I would be leary of info coming from someone who tries to discredit another for the purpose of puffing himself up. As an agent, I've seen the deals fall through due to the negligence of out of state lenders. Just be careful of who you are working with and ask where they are located.

Linda, I find it humorous how you say not to use the internet kind, yet you use this free internet service to promote yourself. Very interesting.
seemazeem, I would not pay attention to Linda's advice. She is obviously not aware of Zillow and is not within her field of expertise since this is a lender question.
There are many lenders on here that have great track records. You can fill out a loan request and get several quotes. Each lender has feedback, so you can view and see if you would like to work with them.
Many lenders may be local and still be able to meet with you. I have closed several loans with folks on Zillow and have met every single one of my customers face to face.

The banks are taking a lot longer to respond these days, so I would contact your lender immediately to get a pre-approval letter. Also, stay with local lenders and not the Internet kind so that you have a name, number and face to deal with and not a "corporation." You might also want to check your credit report and make sure it's cleaned up before you ask the lenders to provide you with a loan. It can impact your interest rate. Are you wanting to stay in Richardson?
