Conventional financing in Miami Beach works within Miami-Dade County's 2026 conforming limit of $832,750. For first-time buyers, Fannie Mae's HomeReady and Freddie Mac's Home Possible programs allow 3% down ($26,800 on Miami Beach's $895,000 median). Repeat buyers can put 5% down ($44,800), and PMI drops off automatically once you reach 20% equity — no refinance required.
With 20% down ($179,000), conventional financing carries no PMI and typically offers the lowest available rate for a Miami Beach purchase. At 10% down, PMI runs approximately $400/month and is eliminated when your loan balance drops below 80% of the original purchase price. At 5% down, PMI is approximately $640/month.
Florida's Hometown Heroes program offers up to $35,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance for eligible buyers including healthcare workers, teachers, and first responders.
