What are the FHA loan requirements in Florida?
Six things: credit score, down payment, income, debt ratio, property condition, and primary-residence occupancy. FHA rules and lender overlays both apply.
What this actually means.
Credit: 580+ for 3.5% down, 500–579 for 10% down. Income: documented and stable. DTI: FHA can stretch further than conventional, though lenders cap. Property: must pass FHA appraisal standards. Occupancy: primary residence within ~60 days of closing.
Where this can move.
Income type, employment history, debt ratio, reserves, automated underwriting findings, and lender overlays can change the answer.
