The answers to all five questions is false.

For your protection get a home inspection. The appraisal on the property is to protect the lender. An appraisal is about value, not about condition. You can not use FHA financing to buy a house that was flipped (90 days.) You can use FHA financing to buy a multi-family up to 4 units as long as you live in one of the units. You can use FHA financing to buy a bank owned property (a repo, a HUD house.) FHA does not require the buyer to have reserves of cash.
