FHA Loan Limits in Florida

VA and FHA loans/financing are the most popular and "acceptable" forms of buying a home today. VA loans require "zero down" from a buyer and FHA loans require 3% down-payment, plus 2.25% up-front for PMI (private mortgage insurance) and, of course, buyer closing costs (paid by the buyer, unless the contract specifies and requests seller to pay for a portion or all buyers closing costs). These 2 forms of financing a home make up over 50% of all home loans today under $300,000. *Note*: To pass the FHA/VA 4 point home inspection, a home's roof must have at least 5-7 years of "useful" life remaining and a condo must be an "approved building" to qualify for FHA or VA financing. *Note*: FHA/VA has loan maximum limits (see FHA/VA limits*) vary from county to county in Florida. Conventional financing for single family as of 4/18/2010 are 20% down.
