What is the Florida Real Estate Market Like?
Florida has long been a sought-after destination, and it’s no wonder that the real estate market here is on solid footing like many major cities in the Northeast. For those looking for a bargain, buyers should be glad to know that the average cost of a home in Florida remains below the national average. However, do note that prices in cities such as Miami, Palm Beach, Orlando and Tampa are going to be higher.
What Does an Acquisition & Renovation Entail?
An acquisition/renovation loan differs from a traditional mortgage in that this kind of loan is designed to fund the costs of not only purchasing the property but also its estimated repair expenses. This type of purchase and renovate loan essentially puts two loans into one, making it simpler for the lender and investor. Rates are typically around the same as a traditional mortgage, and the option for a variable or fixed interest is available.
What is Entailed in a Commercial Loan?
Commercial loans, unlike residential mortgages, are not insured by a government entity, as these are largely seen as investments that carry risk. Thus, interest rates are higher. Your credit score has a huge impact on your ability to obtain the loan, as well as on how high or low that interest rate will be. When applying, you must have the capital for a down payment (generally 20 to 25 percent) in addition to proof you have the cash flow to service the loan.
