3.5% down for Plant City family homes—the FHA alternative when properties fall outside USDA-eligible boundaries.
Some Plant City properties—particularly those closer to I-4 commercial corridors or more densely developed areas—may fall outside USDA-eligible census tracts. For these homes, FHA provides the next-best low-down-payment option: 3.5% down with flexible credit. In Plant City's $200K-$380K range, FHA down payments are remarkably manageable and seller concessions can cover most closing costs.
