We only have about $400 in savings, but I think my family would be able to help us out with the down payment. I'm not sure how to find a <a href="http://www.zillow.com/mortgage/">loan</a> officer that would be best able to help us get an <a href="http://www.zillow.com/fha-loan/">FHA loan</a>. Also, the roof is really the only thing that appears to be in need of repair.
