FHA is the loan I use most with first-time buyers in Davenport. 3.5% down, flexible credit, and it works at the price points most families are shopping here.

Many newer Davenport communities carry a CDD assessment. FHA counts it in your debt-to-income ratio, so it can change how much home you qualify for.
