Our calculator uses standard lending guidelines and South Florida-specific costs to give you a realistic picture.
Lenders typically cap your housing costs at 28% of your gross monthly income. This includes principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.
Your total debt payments — including housing, car loans, student loans, and credit cards — shouldn't exceed 36% (conservative) or 43% (FHA max) of your income.
We estimate ~1.1% of the home's value per year, which is the average effective property tax rate in Palm Beach County.
Homeowners insurance in South Florida averages ~$2,500/year. Condos typically add $200–400/month in HOA fees. We use $300/month as a reasonable estimate.
A lower credit score may mean a higher interest rate or require a larger down payment, but it doesn't disqualify you. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580 (with 3.5% down) and even 500–579 (with 10% down). Talk to a lender to understand your options.
Not directly. If you put less than 20% down, you'll typically pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) on conventional loans or mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) on FHA loans. These can add $100–300/month to your payment. Ask your lender for a full breakdown.
Yes — and you might be closer than you think. Between Florida's down payment assistance programs, FHA loans with 3.5% down, and homes in the $250k–$600k range across Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and surrounding areas, there are real opportunities for everyday buyers.
