Mixed-Use Property Mortgage From a Florida Mortgage Broker

A mixed-use property — say an apartment above a storefront — can be financed residentially or commercially depending on how much of it is residential. The ratio is the whole game.

When the residential portion dominates (commonly 51%+ of the square footage and value) and the commercial use is limited, certain lenders will write it on residential terms. Heavier commercial use pushes it to a commercial or DSCR loan, with larger down payments and shorter terms. The number of units and zoning also matter.

We assess the residential-to-commercial split and zoning, then match you to the lender whose box your property fits — residential when possible for the better rate, commercial when the use requires it.

FAQ

Mixed-Use Property Questions

Can I get a residential mortgage on a mixed-use property?

Sometimes. If the residential portion dominates the square footage and value and the commercial use is limited, certain lenders write it on residential terms. Heavier commercial use requires a commercial or DSCR loan. We assess the split first.

How much down payment for a mixed-use property?

On commercial or DSCR financing, expect 20% to 30% down. A majority-residential property handled on residential terms can require less. The exact figure depends on use, units, and the lender, which is why we shop it.
