Every month, your rent check disappears.

No equity. No ownership. Nothing to pass on.

But here's what most South Florida renters don't realize Florida has Down Payment Assistance programs designed to help eligible first-time homebuyers cover their down payment and closing costs.

If you can afford rent, you may be closer to owning than you think.
Programs available for eligible buyers include:
- State-funded DPA programs
- Broward & Miami-Dade county assistance
- FHA, VA & Conventional loan options
- Programs for various credit profiles

Your family deserves a home that's actually yours.

The #1 reason Florida renters don't buy a home?

They think they need $30,000–$40,000 saved first.

They're wrong.

Florida has a program giving first-time buyers up to $10,000
toward their down payment right now. It exists. Most
qualified buyers just don't know about it.

Mario Cerrato is a South Florida mortgage advisor who helps
renters navigate exactly this — every single day.

Don't wait another year for a home you could have today.
