Common Questions

What is the minimum down payment for a conventional loan?+
Conventional loans allow as little as 3% down for qualified first-time buyers and some repeat buyers. The exact minimum depends on your credit score, loan amount, and whether you're a first-time buyer.
Are there down payment assistance grants available in Florida?+
Yes! Florida offers several programs including the Florida Assist, Florida Homeownership Loan Program, and various county-level programs. These can provide up to $10,000+ in assistance that doesn't need to be repaid in many cases.
Will I pay more with a lower down payment?+
Your monthly payment will be higher due to PMI and a larger loan balance. However, the ability to own a home sooner and build equity — rather than paying rent — often makes the financial sense. We'll help you run the numbers.
