Florida Home Loans

Florida home loans for relocators, retirees, and Floridians who already live here.

I arrange Florida home loans and review flood zones, insurance and any condo or HOA requirements before comparing programs.

Can I get a Florida home loan if I am moving from out of state?

Yes, I close Florida home loans for people moving down, retiring, or already living here. I am Travis Penny, a mortgage broker licensed in Florida, and I handle FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo, asset depletion, bridge, and non warrantable condo financing.

Florida specialist

I review program requirements, condo documents, insurance and closing steps.

Relocation playbook

I built a plan for buying in Florida while still owning a home up north.

Every program

I work with FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo, asset depletion, and bridge programs. I pick what fits your real situation.

Your home in Maine or Florida, plus rentals in 38 states

I can do your primary or second home in Maine or Florida and your rental properties in 38 states with DSCR loans, all with one broker. DSCR loans are for investment properties only. Your own home is financed separately, with a loan program that fits how you'll live in it. Call or text 207-615-7770.

Why Florida buyers work with me

I check condo project approval, flood-zone designation and insurance availability before recommending a Florida loan. Those details can affect qualification even when the buyer's income and credit fit.

Programs I close in Florida

Specialty loan guides

Compare bank statement loans, 1099 mortgages, and other specialty mortgages. Healthcare professionals can read the nurse loan guide or physician loan guide for doctor loans, then request a healthcare homebuying session.

I also review Florida ITIN home loans and Florida self employed mortgages using documentation that fits your file. Not everyone will qualify.

Comparing standard options? Start with a Florida conventional loan, and if you need to buy before your current home sells, read about the Florida bridge loan.

Still own a home up north?

That changes the math. I am licensed in Maine too, so I can structure both ends of the deal at once. See the Maine to Florida relocation guide for the full playbook, or run the numbers at Maine Florida Collective's cost calculator.

Not sure if you're a snowbird or a full mover?

I ask whether your Florida home will be a primary home, second home or investment. Tell me how you intend to use it so I can review the appropriate program.

Frequently asked questions

Are you licensed to place loans in Florida?

Yes. I am Travis Penny, NMLS #1649161, a mortgage broker with Vision Mortgage, LLC, licensed in Florida and closing loans here.

Which Florida loan programs do you handle?

FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo, asset depletion, bridge, and non warrantable condo financing. I match the program to your real situation rather than forcing one menu on every file.

Can I buy in Florida while I still own a home in Maine?

Yes. I am licensed in both states, so I can structure the Maine sale, the Florida purchase, and any bridge timing as one coordinated plan.

Do you handle condo and HOA gotchas?

Yes. Florida lending has condo project approval, flood zone, and insurance rules that surprise out of state lenders. I check those requirements before you write the offer.
