All those other assets dont mean anything. They will list them on the app but there nothing to talk about. How much you have in the bank and for how long is gonna be another stumbling block. Some other things to consider

Good point...FHA loan limits are based on your area....here they're 178K
But I'd guess that they're low in his area if that house is only 240K
Whatever you do, don't get an ARM....this has to be the worst time for one of those. Take the fixed rate.
