FHA Mixed-Use Property Loan in Florida

FHA financing on a mixed-use property brings a 3.5% minimum down payment and a 580-score floor, but FHA also has property rules — condition, occupancy, and project approval where it applies. When a mixed-use property clears those, FHA is one of the most accessible loans, and it stacks with Florida assistance. We confirm FHA eligibility for the specific property.

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

FHA Mixed-Use Property Loan Questions

Can I use an FHA loan on a mixed-use property?

Often yes, if the mixed-use property meets FHA's condition, occupancy, and (where relevant) project rules. FHA then allows 3.5% down with flexible credit. We verify FHA will accept the specific property before you apply.

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.
