Here are the different types of Florida rental loan programs we specialize in.
Florida Minimum Rental Loan Requirements
These are our minimum loan requirements to finance a Florida investment property.
Min. Credit Score: 660
The minimum credit score for a hard money loan is 660. A private money lender will start by running a soft pull on your credit report. Since higher credit scores signal financial stability, these usually come with lower interest rates.

The minimum investment property loan amount is $75,000.

Ability to Pay Monthly Payment
Conventional loan lenders compare your personal income to your monthly loan payment, primary residence mortgage and more. Private lenders look at the property appraised value, potential monthly cash flow, fair market rent, etc.
Ability to Repay the Loan
This will depend on the type of loan, current interest rates, down payment size and other factors. Traditional banks look at 2 years of personal tax returns, employment history, cash reserves and your credit report. Hard money lenders will look at acquisition purchase price, after-repair value, construction costs, potential monthly rental income, Florida rental market trends, etc.
Larger Down Payment
Real estate investment loans generally require a larger down payment. Expect a 10-35% down payment.
FAQ for Investment Property Loans
What type of investment property loans do you offer?
Curlee Capital works with private lenders who offer:
- Purchase 30-year rental loans
- Refinance loan options
- Cash out financing
- Fix and flip loans
- ARM rental property financing
- Multi-family loans
Why are the interest rates higher for investment properties?
Hard money loans are specifically designed for real estate investing. Unlike a traditional mortgage, real estate investors do not have to provide personal income, tax returns or even employment history.
For example, rental loans for multi-family properties (also known as landlord loans) are based on the potential revenue stream (monthly rental income) they can generate. Therefore, lenders take on more risk when issuing multi-family loans.
Is a Florida rental property a good investment?
Yes, Florida has year-round warm weather, the best beaches in the US (TripAdvisor and Travel+Leisure), Orlando theme parks, landlord-friendly laws and no state income tax. It also has a reliable flow of snowbirds and a steady trend of people moving from out of state.
In 2021, 122 million tourists traveled to Florida. While only 2% of Americans visited all 50 states, Florida was the most visited state. New home builders can’t keep up with demand, rent prices keep increasing and more people keep moving.
Most Competitive Florida Rental Markets
These Florida cities are experiencing rental supply shortages. Landlords can’t keep up with demand and have been increasing rent prices to match the increased demand for rentals. As of June 2022, some cities were experiencing 32.38% year-over-year rent price growth.
- Fort Myers +32.38%
- Miami +31.70%
- Fort Lauderdale +31.70%
- North Port +30.88%
- Sarasota +30.88%
- Tampa +26.93%
- Port St. Lucie +25.54%
- Lakeland +23.92%
- Orlando +23.70%
Is Florida a good state for landlords?
Florida has landlord-friendly eviction laws and security deposit laws that favor the landlord. There are no state-mandated rent control limitations and year-over-year rent prices continue to increase.
Does rent go up every year in Florida?
Many rent-friendly Florida cities are experiencing 32.38% year-over-year rent price increases. This is due to a strong trend of people moving from out of state and waiting for their homes to be built. It’s also the result of people looking for a place to live after a hurricane damaged their homes. Add snowbirds, foreigners traveling on vacation and no rent increase laws and you get increased rent prices every year.
