Florida Delayed Financing Mortgage Requirements

Florida Delayed Financing Mortgage Requirements

In certain aspects, a delayed refinancing mortgage operates like a traditional refinance: The buyer already possesses 100% equity in the home or is very close to achieving it. Typically, there’s no pre-existing mortgage on the home, as it would have been settled at the closing. Importantly, the loan proceeds are directed to the borrower, not the seller.

Delayed financing is a tactic involving the initial cash purchase of a house, followed by obtaining a mortgage after the closing. This approach aims to distinguish buyers during the home-buying process and expedite the property acquisition. Cash buyers typically wield greater negotiating power in conventional real estate transactions, offering advantages that appeal to sellers.

By implementing a cash-out refinance post-closing, buyers unlock the funds initially used for the home purchase. Subsequently, buyers can transition to making regular long-term payments on the house, resembling the structure of a traditional mortgage from the outset.


Florida Delayed Financing Mortgage Requirements:

  • The borrower must own the property
  • A title report must confirm there are no liens on the property
  • The settlement statement must verify that the property was purchased with cash
  • The source of the funds used to purchase the property must be sourced and documented. These documents can include bank statements or documents from a personal loan or home equity loan secured by another property
  • Minimum Credit scores of 660
  • Up to 80% loan to value
  • Income can be documented with pay stubs, W2’s and / or tax returns
  • Income can be documented with 12 or 24 months of bank statements
  • Rental income can be used to qualify
  • Debt Servicing Coverage Ratio [ DSCR ] for investment properties only can be utilized
  • Debt to income ratio less than 50%
  • Property can be used as a primary home, second home or an investment property
  • Property must a single family home, multifamily home up to 8 units, townhouse, warrantable condo, non-warrantable condo, or a condotel
  • Minimum loan amount of $200,000
  • The contract sales price will be used as the property value; an appraisal will be used to confirm the property value.   

Florida Delayed Financing Mortgage Benefits

  • Get cash out immediately after purchasing home in cash – no waiting period. By utilizing all cash for your home purchase, you bypass the standard six-month waiting period typically associated with refinancing to recover your funds.
  • Opting for a cash purchase may enhance your negotiation position and increase the likelihood of your offer being accepted. Sellers often favor cash offers as they eliminate concerns about a borrower securing mortgage approval.
  • Reclaim your funds: Post-purchase financing liberates cash that can be directed towards various expenses, including home improvements or the acquisition of a second property.
  • Warrantable Condo Properties available
  • Non-Warrantable Condo Properties available
  • Condotel Properties available
