What is the downpayment for a conventional jumbo loan?

Thanks. So I certainly want to utilize a FHA loan if I can. In some markets the FHA limit is much higher. Why is it lower in Denver and could the limit change in 2016?

Hello,

I have come across a really interesting opportunity to buy a home for around $525-550k in Denver CO. I know very little about buying homes so I need some help!

I have great credit and solid income and I'm hoping to take advantage of a First Time Homebuyer Program to keep my downpayment low as I only have $25k for a downpayment and I would need to go to family/friends for additional downpayment.

What is the downpayment I should expect to have to pay? Is there a way to get this loan qualified under the FHA program where I would only have to put down 3.5%?

Do you have any other creative ideas for how I can finance this? 

Thanks!
