Availability comes first
This guide is educational and does not state that Matt or LMCU can finance every Florida property. Confirm current licensing, product footprint and property eligibility before making an offer.
Florida costs deserve early attention
Homeowners and flood insurance can materially change affordability. Condominium association insurance, reserves, inspections and project eligibility can affect financing even when the borrower qualifies.
Relocation timing
Physicians relocating for a new role should align the employment contract, start date, credentialing, move, reserves and first payment. A lender must confirm which compensation is usable.
Condominium and coastal properties
Request association documents, master insurance information and flood-zone details early. A low-maintenance property can still create a project-level financing issue.
Compare total cash exposure
Model down payment, closing costs, prepaid insurance, potential flood coverage, reserves and immediate repairs—not just principal and interest.
Prepare for a useful physician mortgage review
The first conversation is most productive when it connects career timing with the complete purchase plan. Exact documents can wait for the secure application, but these facts reveal which financing paths deserve comparison.
- Medical designation and current training or employment stage
- Signed contract, start date and compensation structure when relocating
- Student-loan balance, repayment status and required payment
- Target price, property type, location and expected time in the home
- Available funds, desired reserves and competing uses for cash
