CONVENTIONAL FLORIDA MORTGAGE:: CONVENTIONAL FLORIDA HOME LOAN

Private Florida mortgage lenders make conventional loans to qualified Florida loan applicants. Conventional loans usually have a lower loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.In other words, conventional loans require a larger down payment (equity) as compared with an FHA or VA loans or USDA home loans. Florida mortgage lenders typically require a 20% down payment for a conventional home loan. Loans for more than 80% percent (20%percent down )LTV require borrowers to  buy private mortgage insurance (PMI). PMI insures that portion of the mortgage loan that exceeds the 80% of the value. Conventional loans are available for 90% LTV if the Florida loan applicant buyer PMI insurance.Interest rates for conventional mortgage reflect market conditions. Fixed rate conventional Florida mortgage typically contain a due-on-sale clause, meaning that they are not assumable.

In general, a single family federal loans from both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has a home  loan limit of 417,000. This loan limit is reviewed annually and, if needed, changed to reflect changes in the national average price for single family homes. The current loan limit applies to all conventional mortgages delivered after January 1, 2006.

CONVENTIONAL FLORIDA LOAN LIMITS

• One-family loans: $417,000
• Two-family loans: $533,850
• Three-family loans: $645,300
• Four-family loans: $801,950

Florida home loans which are larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 417,000 are called jumbo loans. Because jumbo loans are not funded by these government sponsored entities, they usually carry a higher interest rate and require  additional underwriting requirements.

A strategy to lower your overall interest rate payments if your purchase or refinance a Florida home with a balance that is above $417,000 is to use a combination of both first and second    mortgage loans. This strategy is  referred to as an 80/10/10, 80/15/5 or 80/20. Every situation is different, but it is one more option can be effective in keeping interest to a minimum.
