FAQ

Common Questions

What is a first-time homebuyer exactly?+

Most programs define a first-time homebuyer as someone who hasn't owned a primary residence in the past 3 years — so even if you've owned before, you may still qualify after a period of not owning.

What first-time buyer programs are available in Florida?+

Florida offers several programs through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, including the Florida Assist (up to $10,000 in down payment assistance) and the HFA Preferred Grant. We'll match you to the best program for your situation.

How long does it take to get pre-approved?+

At Mister Mortgage USA, we can typically issue a pre-qualification letter within 24-48 hours. A full pre-approval with verified documents usually takes 3-5 business days.
