Affording Your Florida Home

Get Pre-Approved First

Before you start shopping, talk to a lender and get your pre-approval letter. It tells you exactly what you can afford and makes your offer stronger.

Budget Beyond the Mortgage

Remember to factor in closing costs (typically 2-5% of the purchase price), HOA fees, utilities, and maintenance when budgeting for your home.

Florida-Specific Costs

Florida has no state income tax, but property taxes and homeowner's insurance can vary significantly by county and location. Kim can help you understand these costs for any property.
