Home Loans for Firefighters From a Florida Mortgage Broker

Firefighters work long shifts with substantial overtime and qualify for Florida Hometown Heroes. The overtime needs a two-year history to count fully, and the assistance can add up to $35,000 toward your purchase. We document the shift and overtime income correctly and pair it with the right first mortgage so a firefighter gets full value from both.

The hurdle is usually the same one: A public-service salary stretches only so far against Florida prices, so the down payment is usually the real obstacle, not the income. As a broker rather than a single bank, we focus on Florida Hometown Heroes and low-down-payment programs and shop the file to the lenders that write it well.
