Mortgage Programs for Hollywood FL Buyers
FHA & First-Time Buyer Loans
Hollywood is attracting a wave of first-time buyers priced out of Miami. FHA loans offer 3.5% down with credit scores from 580+. We also help buyers access Florida Housing and Broward County down payment assistance programs.
Beach Condo Financing
Hollywood Beach has dozens of condo buildings ranging from vintage to luxury. We finance warrantable and non-warrantable buildings, giving buyers access to the full range of Hollywood's beachfront inventory.
DSCR Short-Term Rental Loans
Hollywood is a top Airbnb market given its beach location and proximity to Margaritaville. DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income — perfect for investors building a vacation rental portfolio.
Bank Statement Loans
South Florida's gig economy and entrepreneurial culture means many Hollywood buyers are self-employed. Our bank statement program qualifies using 12-24 months of bank deposits — no W-2 or tax returns required.
Jumbo Loans for Luxury Homes
Hollywood's waterfront and beachfront luxury market continues to grow. We offer jumbo loans for homes above the conventional loan limit with competitive rates and flexible underwriting.

Market Commentary
Hollywood FL represents one of the best value propositions in all of South Florida. While Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale Beach command premium prices, Hollywood offers a similar beachfront lifestyle at significantly more accessible price points. This value gap is closing fast as buyers discover what Hollywood has to offer.
The transformation of downtown Hollywood — Young Hollywood — has been remarkable. Once overlooked, it now features trendy restaurants, rooftop bars, boutique hotels, and new residential towers. Young professionals are arriving in numbers, creating the kind of energy that typically precedes significant price appreciation.
Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort has been a game-changer for the city's profile, putting Hollywood on the map for international tourists and potential buyers. The resort effect has lifted prices for surrounding condos and homes, and the trend is expected to continue.
Hollywood FL Mortgage FAQs
What mortgage programs are available in Hollywood FL?
Hollywood FL buyers can access FHA (3.5% down, 580+ credit), conventional, VA (0% for veterans), jumbo for properties above $806,500, DSCR loans for short-term rental investors near the Broadwalk, bank statement loans for self-employed borrowers, and foreign national programs for the significant Canadian and Latin American buyer base. Broward County down payment assistance may also be available for first-time buyers.
Is Hollywood FL a good investment for Airbnb?
Yes. Hollywood Beach is one of South Florida's strongest short-term rental markets, especially during the winter season. DSCR loans qualify on projected rental income, not personal tax returns, so foreign investors and self-employed buyers can access investment financing. Minimum 20-25% down, 660+ credit, and rental income that covers at least 1.0x the monthly payment. We verify short-term rental rules with the HOA before you apply.
What are home prices in Hollywood FL?
Hollywood prices range from $200,000-$300,000 for inland condos to $800,000-$2M+ for beachfront units near the Broadwalk. Single-family homes in West Hollywood and Emerald Hills average $450,000-$700,000. The 2026 Broward conforming limit is $806,500, so most Hollywood purchases qualify for conventional financing without jumping into jumbo territory.
Can I buy in Hollywood FL as a first-time buyer?
Yes. Hollywood has strong options for first-time buyers: FHA loans at 3.5% down with 580+ credit, conventional at 3% down through HomeReady or Home Possible for income-eligible buyers, and VA loans at 0% for veterans. Broward County offers down payment assistance programs that can cover the full down payment for qualifying buyers. At current Hollywood price points, many first-timers qualify for more than they expect.
