If you’re looking to snatch up your own piece of paradise in Lake Mary, Oviedo, Heathrow, Winter Park, Maitland, or surrounding areas, now is the time to get serious and take action while mortgage rates are expected to continue to be at an all-time low. What do you need to know about obtaining a Florida home mortgage before buying a home?

Changes in the Verification Process

According to Florida Realtor, it does not seem likely that mortgages will become more difficult to obtain. However, the process may change. There is still economic uncertainty as a result of COVID-19. For this reason, many lenders are choosing to complete the final verification process closer to the closing date. This is to ensure the most accurate employment information possible before issuing the loan.

Take Advantage of Online Tools

Many Florida home mortgage lenders offer online tools that help prospective home buyers calculate estimated monthly payments as well as closing costs. This helps buyers determine how much they can realistically put into a home before they apply for a loan.

What Kind of Loan Is Best?

How long do you plan on staying in the home? If this is a “forever” home, then you may want to consider a fixed-rate, 30-year loan. However, if you expect to move out of the home in the next few years, an adjustable-rate mortgage may be the best financial option.
