Residential Lending

Home Purchase Loans in Florida

Financing for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.

Buying a home in Florida is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. Witte Mortgage helps buyers structure the right purchase loan for a primary residence, vacation home, or rental property.

As an independent Florida mortgage broker (NMLS #627790), Witte Mortgage shops conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and jumbo purchase loans across dozens of wholesale lenders. That means you see real, competitive pricing rather than one bank's rate card.

We help first-time buyers, move-up buyers, snowbirds, and investors compare 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, and adjustable-rate mortgages with clear breakdowns of monthly payment, closing costs, and total cost over time.

Available to qualified Florida borrowers statewide — including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and the Panhandle.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Florida home purchase take to close?+

Most conventional and government purchase loans close in 21–30 days once you are under contract.

Do I need 20% down to buy in Florida?+

No. Many programs allow 0–5% down. 20% down avoids PMI on conventional loans but is not required.

Can I include closing costs in the loan?+

Often yes — through seller concessions, lender credits, or rolled costs on refinances. We map the cleanest path for your scenario.
