FHA Loans in Florida

What Florida buyers need to know

Florida is the third-most-populous state and a magnet for both retiree migration and young-family relocation. Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville lead transaction volume, with strong second-home and investor demand on the coasts. No state income tax.

Florida FHA note

Florida FHA loans require lender review of HOA condominium project status — particularly post-Surfside, with stricter structural-reserve requirements. We have a current FHA-approved condo project list.

Florida insurance reality

Florida coastal properties require windstorm/hurricane insurance and may require flood insurance based on FEMA flood zones. Insurance costs have risen significantly post-2022 — we underwrite using actual quoted insurance premiums, not estimates, so your DTI is realistic.

Requirements

FHA Loan Eligibility in Florida

Check the key requirements to see if you qualify.

Credit Score

580+

A credit score of 580 or higher qualifies you for the minimum 3.5% down payment. Scores between 500-579 may still qualify with a 10% down payment.

Down Payment

3.5%

One of the lowest down payment options available. Your down payment can come from savings, gifts from family, or down payment assistance programs.

Debt-to-Income Ratio

43%

Your total monthly debt payments (including your new mortgage) should typically be 43% or less of your gross monthly income.

Employment History

2 Years

A steady employment history of at least 2 years is typically required. Self-employed borrowers may qualify with 2 years of tax returns.

Mortgages should be simple. Talk to a real loan officer in Florida.

Pre-approval in 24 hours. No credit pull. No haggle, no hassle. Just the right loan.
