how much do i need to put down on a $320,000 property with an FHA loan?

3.5% down ($11,200) is the min on FHA unless you have local grants available to you.

fha has a minimum of 3.5%

You will need to put at least 3.5% down with an FHA loan.

The maximum FHA loan for a home in Fountain CO (El Paso county) is $271,050 for a One-Family home. So, if you are buying a single family home/condo you will have to put down a lot of money for a down payment, $48,950. Two-Family homes have a maximum loan amount of $347,000. The minimum down payment for an FHA loan is 3.5% provided the maximum loan amounts allowed are not being exceeded. You can put down 5% and get a conventional loan.

Hi, the FHA loan limit for El Paso County this year is $271,050. You may consider going with a conventional loan which has a higher loan limit. Also, we have grant money available to help w/down payment and/or closing costs. Hope that helps!

FHA requires 3.5% down payment however, the maximum loan amount for CO is $271,050, so you would need a total of $49,000 to purchase this home using FHA.. conventional financing on the other hand only requires 5% down, and you can borrow as much as $417,000. And with conventional, the mortgage insurance is much less expensive than FHA, and unlike FHA, the MI can be dropped once you reach 20% equity..

FHA requires a 3.5% of the purchase price. However each county will have it's max loan limit that is allowed for that county.
