95% Conventional Home Financing in Florida?

Despite what you see advertised, you cannot get 95% conventional financing in Florida.  By phoning an 800 number you may well be told by some out-of-state lender that you can get 95% financing, and  they may well supply you with a pre-qual letter, but 95% financing won’t fly in Florida… not now.   I suppose that has something to do with the fact that Florida, Nevada, Arizona and California have the highest default rates in the nation. 95% conventional financing does not exist in Florida.

That’s not to say that you can’t get FHA or VA financing,  because you can… and you can buy a house with as  little as 3.5% if you are  are looking at FHA financing.

And investment property can be purchased with  as little as 20% down and a conventional loan.  By putting down 25% on a condo purchase, you will be able to avoid the condo questionnaire.
