3.5% down or 5% for FHA Loan?

Posted on: 05th Aug, 2009 08:57 pm
I'm getting a FHA loan where I can put as little as 3.5% down. A friend that works at a mortgage company said that I should put at least 5% if I go FHA. She said that I would save but what is the comparison between 3.5% and 5% down for a FHA if the loan amount is about 372,000?
Are there any benefit besides lower payments? Tax benefits, PMI would be cheaper, or refunds?
