Florida Home Loans
We are a licensed Florida mortgage broker, which means we shop your file across multiple lenders instead of pushing one bank's product. FHA, VA, conventional, first-time buyer and investment property loans, handled by people who answer the phone.

The right loan depends on your credit, your down payment, whether you have served in the military, and whether the property will be your home or an investment. Here is how the main programs differ.
| Program | Typical down payment | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| FHA loans | 3.5% down | First-time buyers and buyers with less-than-perfect credit. More flexible credit and debt guidelines than conventional. |
| VA loans | 0% down for eligible veterans | Veterans, active duty service members and surviving spouses with VA entitlement. No monthly mortgage insurance. |
| Conventional loans | Low down payment options available | Buyers with solid credit who want to avoid FHA mortgage insurance, and buyers of second homes. |
| First-time buyer programs | Varies by program | Buyers who may qualify for Florida down payment assistance and first-time buyer grants. |
| Investment property loans | Varies by property | Investors buying rentals, including properties that need renovation work. |
| Refinancing | Not applicable | Existing owners who want a lower payment, a shorter term, or to access equity. |
Down payment figures describe the programs themselves, not your specific qualification. Rates change daily, so call and we will price your actual scenario.

How Getting a Florida Home Loan Works
1. Talk through your situation
We start with the numbers that actually matter: income, debts, the funds you have available, and the timeline you are working toward.
2. Get pre-approved
A pre-approval letter tells sellers you are a serious buyer. It also shows you the price range you can shop in before you fall in love with a house.
3. Shop, then close
Once you are under contract we manage the lender, the appraisal and the paperwork, and keep you informed until closing day.
