Conventional Refinance Guide in Florida

This guide walks the full conventional refinance process. You confirm it fits your goal, check your equity and credit, gather documentation, shop lenders, lock the rate, and close. The order matters — confirm the refinance helps you before you spend on an appraisal or application. We manage every step and tell you honestly when waiting is the better call.

A conventional refinance is the workhorse — lower your rate, change your term, or escape FHA's permanent mortgage insurance. Once you hold 20% equity, a conventional loan carries no mortgage insurance at all.

The biggest win is leaving FHA. FHA mortgage insurance now lasts the life of the loan; refinancing into a conventional loan once you have 20% equity removes it entirely, often saving more than the rate change itself.

Conventional refinances need a 620+ score and allow up to 95% loan-to-value for rate-and-term. We run the numbers against keeping your current loan and against FHA so the move is clearly worth it before you pay a cent.

Conventional Refinance Questions

What is the process for a conventional refinance?

A conventional refinance runs from goal-check to application, documentation, lender shopping, rate lock, and closing. It usually takes a few weeks. We handle the steps and confirm the math favors you before any cost is incurred.

Can I refinance from FHA to conventional in Florida?

Yes, and it is one of the most valuable refinances available. Once you have about 20% equity, moving from FHA to conventional removes FHA's lifetime mortgage insurance, which often saves more than the rate change. We confirm your equity and run the savings.

What credit score do I need for a conventional refinance?

Generally 620 or higher, with better pricing above 680 and 740. We pull a soft credit check up front and tell you exactly where you stand and what the rate looks like at your score.
