Currently FHA mortgages only require a down payment of 2.25% with a total of 3% minimum investment from the buyer. Get ready folks! That's going to change as of January 1, 2009. The down payment minimum will jump to 3.50%. This changes comes after the current implementation of increased monthly mortgage and up front mortgage insurance requirements.
