Canadian Snowbird Mortgages for Florida Winter Homes

A Canadian snowbird mortgage lets you finance a Florida second home in U.S. dollars using your Canadian income and savings — no U.S. credit score or Social Security number needed.

Can a Canadian get a mortgage in Florida?

Yes. A Canadian who lives in Canada and wants a Florida condo or house for the winter can finance it with a U.S. foreign national mortgage on a second home. Canadian banks generally will not lend against U.S. property, and U.S. banks cannot see your Canadian credit file, so this program exists for exactly that gap: it approves you without a U.S. score and looks at your Canadian income, your savings and the property.

A second-home loan is a consumer mortgage. Simply Approved Mortgages arranges it for Florida properties (and Colorado, for ski-season buyers). The full program rules live on our foreign national loans page; this guide covers what is different when you are Canadian.

What changes for Canadian buyers

Your credit score starts from zero

Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada scores do not cross the border. That is less of a problem than it sounds: on this program a borrower with no U.S. score reaches the same 75% top tier as someone with a 680+ U.S. score, on loans up to $1.5 million. If you have built U.S. credit through a cross-border card, you can use it, but you do not have to.

Your paperwork is already in English

The program asks for foreign income documents translated into English. For most Canadians that step disappears. Employees provide recent pay stubs, T4 slips and tax returns (or a written employment letter), and the employer is called within 10 days of closing. Self-employed and incorporated owners provide the latest return with a profit and loss statement, or a letter from their accountant (CPA) with a copy of the accountant's licence. Pension and investment income is documented the same way, through your return or an accountant's letter. The maximum debt-to-income ratio is 50%.

Where your down payment sits matters

Money in a Canadian account is usable if the institution has a U.S. presence — which covers most large Canadian banks that operate U.S. subsidiaries — with at least two months of statements, converted to U.S. dollars and seasoned for 60 days. RRSPs, TFSAs, Canadian stocks and mutual funds cannot be counted, so plan the sale or transfer of anything you need at least two months before you apply. U.S.-dollar accounts at a U.S. bank are the simplest route.

Gifts from family work

Adult children or other relatives can gift part of the down payment and closing costs, with no minimum of your own funds required.

How much you can borrow for a Florida winter home

Second home, Canadian buyer with no U.S. score — maximum LTV
Loan amountPurchase or rate-and-termCash-out refinance
Up to $1,500,00075%70%
$2,000,00070%65%
$2,500,00065%55%
$3,000,00060%50%

You also need 12 months of reserves after closing. The minimum loan is $125,000, and second homes carry no prepayment penalty, so you can pay the loan down when the exchange rate favours you.

A short request is all it takes to get a written scenario summary back from a Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer. Binding figures appear on your Loan Estimate.

Florida-specific points snowbirds should plan for

  • Condos: Florida's post-Surfside condo safety law requires milestone inspections and fully funded structural reserves in many older buildings. Warrantable and eligible non-warrantable condos are accepted, but a building with unfunded reserves or a pending special assessment can slow or stop approval. Ask for the association's reserve study early.
  • Insurance: wind and flood coverage is part of the monthly payment used to qualify you. Coastal premiums vary widely, so get a quote before you make an offer.
  • Homestead exemption: Florida's homestead property-tax exemption is for permanent residents, so a Canadian second home is taxed without it.
  • Stay limits: U.S. immigration rules and Canadian provincial health coverage both cap how long you can be away. Neither affects the loan, but a winter home is not a primary residence under this program.
  • Renting it out: if you plan to rent the home long-term while you are in Canada, it may be better structured as an investment loan, which can qualify on the rent. Talk that through before you apply.

Taxes to know before you buy

If you ever sell, the IRS's FIRPTA rules generally require withholding of 15% of the gross sale price from a foreign seller unless a reduced-withholding certificate is obtained. Rental income from U.S. property is reported on a U.S. nonresident return, and Canada taxes worldwide income with credit for U.S. tax paid. U.S. estate tax can also apply to U.S. property owned by Canadians. A cross-border tax adviser should review your plan; we do not give tax advice.

The process, step by step

  1. Talk with a Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer about the price range, occupancy and where your funds are held.
  2. Move or season funds so they have sat 60 days in an eligible account.
  3. Send your passport, income documents and two months of statements.
  4. Make an offer, order the appraisal and, for a condo, the association documents.
  5. Close, often remotely with a notary, and wire funds from the account shown on your application.

Expert Insight
For Canadian Snowbird Mortgages for Florida Winter Homes, start with the program's purpose, eligibility rules, required documentation, property restrictions, and total cost rather than one advertised feature. A Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer can compare those requirements with the actual borrower and property scenario before an application is submitted.

Wholesale advantage

Compare loan officer compensation on your mortgage quote

Loan officer compensation is part of the cost of a mortgage. On eligible residential loans, Simply Approved Mortgages generally uses 1.5% lender-paid compensation. Enter the compensation shown on another lender's Loan Estimate to see the difference in dollars.

Simply Approved Mortgages compensation (1.5%)$4,500
Quote you entered (2.75%)$8,250

Compensation difference on this illustration: $3,750.

How lower compensation can help you

Room for a lower rate

When less compensation is built into pricing, there can be room for a lower interest rate, which may lower your monthly payment.

Possible credits toward closing

Depending on the rate you choose, pricing can sometimes include a lender credit toward third-party closing costs, so you may bring less cash to closing.

More purchasing power

A lower rate means a lower monthly payment, which can lower your debt-to-income ratio and may help you qualify for more home on the same income.

Wholesale, not retail

As a mortgage broker we compare pricing from wholesale lenders instead of offering a single bank’s retail pricing.

Tip: On page 2 of your Loan Estimate, look at Section A, "Origination Charges." If the lender pays the loan officer, that compensation usually does not appear there as its own line; it is built into the interest rate. That is why comparing the rate and any lender credits side by side matters.

Illustration only — not a quote, lock, offer, or commitment to lend; binding figures appear on your Loan Estimate. Lender-paid compensation is paid by the lender, not directly by you, and is part of the loan's pricing, so the loan is not free of costs. A lower compensation figure does not by itself guarantee a lower rate or lower closing costs; individual results vary by credit, loan type, property and market conditions.

Credit Documentation & Monitoring

Credit Reports and Credit Monitoring for Canadian Snowbird Mortgage

Credit is one of the four underwriting buckets every lender reviews — and one of the few you can actively improve before you apply. Monitoring your credit throughout the process helps you catch errors, fraud, and score changes early, which protects your approval timeline and your rate.

Step 1 · Lender Pull

Ordering Credit for Your Pre-Approval File

Once you sign your loan application (Form 1003) and disclosures, your Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer orders a tri-merge residential mortgage credit report (RMCR) from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This is a hard inquiry, but FICO's model treats mortgage inquiries within a 45-day window as a single event, so shopping lenders during that window will not stack on your score.

  • What we need from you: signed borrower authorization, government-issued photo ID, Social Security number (or ITIN), and current address.
  • What the report shows underwriters: middle FICO score, open tradelines, minimum payments, late history, collections, public records, and recent inquiries.
  • How long it's valid: 120 days for conventional loans and for FHA/VA/USDA (HUD guidelines, VA Lender's Handbook Ch. 4). Older reports must be re-pulled before closing.
  • Rapid rescore: if a legitimate error is on your report, we can request a rapid rescore in 3–7 business days after you supply documentation from the creditor.
Pay for Your Credit Report →

This link redirects to our third-party credit vendor's payment portal. You pay the report fee directly so we can pull your tri-merge credit report for your pre-approval file. A credit pull is required for underwriting; this is not a commitment to lend.

Step 2 · Self-Check

Review and Monitor Your Credit at MyITINCredit.com

Before we pull your file, review and monitor your credit at MyITINCredit.com. Their $1 promotional trial gives you tri-bureau visibility plus ongoing credit monitoring so you can catch changes, disputes, or new accounts as they appear — not after they've already delayed your loan.

  • Verify accuracy: confirm names, addresses, SSN/ITIN, and every open account belong to you.
  • Dispute errors: the Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you the right to dispute inaccurate items directly with the bureau — no charge.
  • Address collections and charge-offs: a settled or paid collection can be documented in advance so it does not stall underwriting.
  • Pay down utilization: credit-card balances reported below 30% of the limit typically produce the strongest scores.
  • Avoid new credit: do not open new cards, finance a car, or co-sign for anyone from now through closing.
  • Monitor continuously: credit monitoring alerts you to new inquiries, balance changes, and potential identity theft while your loan is in process.
Check & Monitor Your Credit at MyITINCredit.com →

MyITINCredit.com is a service operated by Simply Approved Corporation (a DBA of that entity), which is the parent company of Simply Approved Mortgages LLC.

Credit monitoring through MyITINCredit.com is optional and is not required to apply for or obtain a mortgage with us. Promotional pricing, trial terms, and monitoring features are set by MyITINCredit.com and subject to change.

Why credit monitoring matters during a mortgage — A single new collection, missed payment, or unauthorized inquiry can change your qualifying score or trigger additional underwriting conditions. Typical minimum scores* — Conventional 620, FHA 580 (3.5% down) or 500 (10% down), VA no HUD minimum (most lenders 580–620), USDA typically 640, Jumbo 680–740, Doctor Mortgage 680–700+, Non-QM/DSCR varies by program, ITIN 620–680 alternative credit. Investor and lender overlays apply; individual results vary. Not a commitment to lend.

Assumptions, methodology, and limitations

Principal and interest use the standard amortization formula on the loan amount you enter. This page does not target a single state, so the property tax and insurance fields start at neutral placeholder assumptions rather than published averages — replace them with figures for your own address, or open the matching state page for sourced seeds. Closing costs apply your state's transfer / documentary-stamp practice (0.00% of price used as the buyer-side seed) plus typical title, recording, appraisal, credit and prepaid escrow lines. Refinance break-even divides your entered costs by the monthly payment difference. Early payoff runs a month-by-month amortization with your extra principal.

These tools do not include mortgage insurance, funding or guarantee fees, HOA special assessments, flood or windstorm premiums, seller credits, lender credits, discount points, or county and municipal charges specific to your parcel. Statewide averages will not match any individual property. Figures are estimates only.

Illustrative only. Binding figures appear on your Loan Estimate, and terms vary by borrower, property, lender, program, and state.
