Plan your budget
Estimate your monthly payment, including property tax and home insurance, before you start touring homes.
Figures are estimates for planning only and are not a loan offer. Your actual rate, taxes and insurance will depend on your lender, the home and your circumstances. The rate, tax and insurance values above are examples, so replace them with your own quotes. Florida homeowners with a homestead exemption often pay less property tax.
Before you buy
Florida insurance can be a big part of the payment. The age of the roof and hurricane-impact windows can make a real difference, so get quotes early.
Rates vary by city, and a homestead exemption can lower the tax on your main home. Ask the county property appraiser for the figure on a specific home.
Many communities charge a monthly fee. Always check what it covers and whether any special assessments are planned.
A lender pre-approval confirms your budget and makes your offer stronger. Ask Shakir for local lender names.
