Only ONE borrower needs a qualifying job — your co-borrower can work in any field.
The employer test
Do you work full-time for a Florida-based employer?
Full-time means 35+ hours a week. Active-duty military automatically passes this one.
Your estimate is fine
How’s your credit looking?
The program needs a 640 minimum score — no pull happens here, just your best guess.
The first-time buyer rule
Have you owned a home in the last 3 years?
You don’t have to be a first-EVER buyer — 3 years without owning resets the clock. Veterans are exempt entirely.
Almost done
Roughly what’s your household income?
Limits vary by county (about 150% of the area median) — a ballpark tells me where you stand.
One more
When are you hoping to buy?
Hometown Heroes funds are first-come, first-served each year — timing matters.
Last step
Where should I send your eligibility answer?
I’ll check your scenario against the current FL Housing rules and reach out personally — usually same day.
