Which Loan Is Right for You?

Every buyer's situation is different. Here's a quick guide to help you understand your options.

If you are a…

First-Time Buyer

→ Consider: FHA Loan or 30-Year Fixed

Lower down payment requirements (3.5% for FHA) and predictable monthly payments make these ideal for buyers entering the market for the first time.

If you are a…

Buying a Luxury Miami Home

→ Consider: Jumbo Loan

Most Miami luxury properties exceed the $766,550 conforming loan limit. A jumbo loan covers the full purchase price with competitive rates for well-qualified buyers.

If you are a…

Veteran or Active Military

→ Consider: VA Loan

No down payment, no PMI, and some of the lowest rates available. If you qualify, a VA loan is almost always the best financial choice.

If you are a…

Planning to Sell Within 5 Years

→ Consider: 5/1 ARM

If you know you'll move or refinance before the adjustable period kicks in, an ARM gives you a lower rate and lower payments during your ownership window.

If you are a…

Want to Build Equity Fast

→ Consider: 15-Year Fixed

Higher monthly payments but you'll pay off your home in half the time and save tens of thousands in interest over the life of the loan.

If you are a…

Buying an Investment Property

→ Consider: 30-Year Fixed (Conventional)

Conventional loans offer the most flexibility for investment properties. Expect to put 20–25% down and plan for slightly higher rates than a primary residence.
