one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
