Naples First-Time Buyer & Low Down Payment
3.5% down with a 580+ credit score. FHA loan limit in Collier County is $764,750.
What Is an FHA Loan
FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which lets lenders offer lower down payments and more flexible credit standards than conventional loans. While FHA is less common in Naples given the area's elevated median home prices, it remains available for qualifying properties below the $764,750 limit.
The tradeoff is mortgage insurance โ FHA requires both an upfront and an annual premium for the life of the loan on most programs. For buyers with strong credit who can make a 20% down payment, conventional financing may be a better fit. Nick runs both scenarios to find the lower total cost.
