KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY
Financing a home in Miami Gardens
- First-time buyers. FHA loans and Miami Gardens’ SHIP purchase assistance can help reduce cash to close.
- Older homes. Many homes date from the 1950s to 1970s, so roof age and systems affect insurance and appraisal.
- County help. Miami-Dade County’s down payment assistance program may also apply.
