We are contemplating a vacation home in Florida Keys. Can we do that with 3.5% down ? by matt.loya731 from Lexington, South Carolina. Jun 11th 2014
If you are moving and the new home in Florida will be your Primary Residence, then you can do it with just 3.5% down using FHA, or 5% down conventional.. however if you are purchasing it as a true "2nd Home".. then you will need a minimum of 10% down, more if you're looking at a condo or MFH. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
FHA only allows for Owner Occupied homes to be financed. You can do 10% down on conventional for a second home.
Yes the best option will be 10% down.
Conventional financing for second home is 10% down
Second homes would need to be purchased with a conventional loan. That would generally require a minimum 5% down payment.
