What we offer across Florida
Services available in FL
- Conventional loansA mortgage not insured by a government agency, usually following Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac rules. Down payments can start at 3% for eligible buyers; less than 20% down usually means private mortgage insurance.
- FHA loansA mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. It allows a 3.5% down payment with a 580+ credit score and more flexible credit guidelines, with FHA mortgage insurance. For a home you will live in.
- VA loansA mortgage guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, service members and some surviving spouses. It can allow 0% down and no monthly mortgage insurance; a VA funding fee usually applies unless exempt.
- Jumbo loansA loan larger than the conforming loan limit set each year by the FHFA. Jumbo loans often ask for stronger credit, larger down payments and more cash reserves.
- Non-QM / bank statement loansLoans outside the standard qualified-mortgage rules, for example qualifying on bank statements instead of tax returns. Often used by self-employed borrowers; rates and down payments are usually higher.
- Cash-out refinancingReplacing your mortgage with a larger one and taking the difference in cash, for example for renovations or paying off debt. Your loan balance and payment may go up.
- Rate-and-term refinancingReplacing your mortgage to change the rate, the term or both, without taking cash out. Closing costs apply, so compare how long it takes to recover them.
- Second home / vacation property loansMortgages for a home you will use part of the year, such as a vacation home. It must be suitable for year-round use and not rented full time; down payment and reserve rules differ from a primary home.
- Investment property loansMortgages for rental or other investment property you will not live in. They usually need a larger down payment and cash reserves, and rates are usually higher than for a home you live in.
