FHA Loans From Your West Palm Beach Mortgage Broker

An FHA loan is the government-backed mortgage that lets buyers in with as little as 3.5% down and a 580 credit score. It is the workhorse program for first-time and credit-rebuilding buyers. The underwriting forgives a thinner file than conventional does.

With a median around $380,000, West Palm Beach lands in Palm Beach County's core first-time and move-up range. A FHA loan fits squarely into how most buyers finance at this level.

As the county seat and largest city, West Palm Beach mixes downtown condos with established single-family neighborhoods. Buyers here run the full range, from FHA first-timers in the historic districts to conventional move-up purchasers along the waterfront. West Palm Beach also has one of South Florida's most active international buyer markets — we originate foreign national mortgages and ITIN loans here regularly, with no U.S. citizenship or SSN required.

FAQ

FHA Loan in West Palm Beach Questions

What credit score do I need for an FHA loan in West Palm Beach?

FHA sets the floor at 580 for 3.5% down, or 500 with 10% down. Most West Palm Beach buyers we work with land between 580 and 660. If your score sits just under a threshold, we tell you whether a small bump is worth waiting for.

Is there an FHA loan limit in West Palm Beach?

Yes. FHA caps how much you can borrow by county, and the limit updates each year. With West Palm Beach's median near $380,000, most local purchases fit comfortably under the cap. We confirm the exact number for your price point before you write an offer.

Where can I get a fha loan in West Palm Beach, FL?

Mortgage Capital is a licensed Florida mortgage broker (NMLS# 1859012) writing fha loans in West Palm Beach and across Palm Beach County. As a broker we shop multiple lenders for the program. You see real West Palm Beach pricing rather than one bank's box. Call (561) 300-0380 or apply online.

How fast can a fha loan close in West Palm Beach?

The timeline depends on the program, the appraisal, the title work, and how quickly the seller and their lender respond, so we do not quote a fixed number of days. We return most pre-approval decisions within one business day and order third-party reports as early as the contract allows. A fully underwritten pre-approval is the strongest way to keep your West Palm Beach closing on schedule.
