Yes, lenders will use your credit score to assess your creditworthiness and the level of risk they would be taking by offering you a loan. Generally, those with higher credit scores are more likely to qualify for better interest rates and more favorable loan terms when they apply. On the other hand, a lower credit score may lead to higher interest rates and potentially more stringent lending conditions. Your score can also affect the types of loan products available to you.
Yes, there are several first-time homebuyer programs, like HomeZero and several state programs, that offer down payment assistance and favorable terms.
When applying for a mortgage, you’ll need to complete an online application and submit identification, Social Security number, proof of income, bank statements, employment verification, credit information, and property details. We use a smart application system that will read your completed application and send you an email seconds later with the list of required documents, based on your inputted data.
Our mortgage approval process usually takes 5 to 10 days. We close most loans within 20-30 days of a completed application.
Working with an experienced local mortgage broker like The Doce Mortgage Group helps ensure a fast, smooth, and stress-free closing — often quicker than large banks or online lenders
Yes — you can refinance your existing mortgage to better fit your current financial goals. Many homeowners in Florida choose to refinance to:
Secure a lower interest rate and reduce overall loan costs
Lower monthly mortgage payments and improve cash flow
Shorten the loan term to pay off the home faster and build equity more quickly
Access home equity through a cash-out refinance for renovations, debt consolidation, or investments
At The Doce Mortgage Group, we help borrowers compare multiple refinance options to find the best rates and terms available. Whether you want to save money, access equity, or restructure your loan, refinancing can be a smart move when done strategically.
To qualify for a mortgage loan in Florida, lenders generally review several key factors to determine eligibility and the best loan program for your situation:
Credit Score: Most conventional loans require a minimum score of 620, while FHA loans may be available with scores as low as 500.
Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI): Preferably below 50%, showing that your monthly debts are manageable compared to your income.
Employment History: A stable job or consistent income for at least two years helps demonstrate financial reliability.
Proof of Income: Lenders typically require recent pay stubs, W-2s, and/or federal tax returns to verify earnings.
Down Payment: Varies by loan type — as low as 3% for conventional and 3.5% for FHA programs.
Property Appraisal: Confirms that the home’s market value supports the loan amount.
At The Doce Mortgage Group, we guide Florida homebuyers through every qualification step — from credit and income verification to selecting the best loan program for their goals.
No two homebuyers or homeowners are alike—so why settle for a one-size-fits-all loan? We take an individualized approach so that your loan fits your specific goals and financial situation. As a top Florida mortgage broker, we listen, strategize, and deliver solutions that work for you.
