FL state processing guide
Contract Mortgage Processing in Florida
My Loan Flow supports Florida wholesale mortgage files with a state-aware intake, lender portal control, conditions tracking, and closing coordination. Florida Housing files add a linked first-mortgage and assistance workflow that must follow the approved lender, current program, eHousingPlus, and master-servicer instructions.
Coverage is based on company-supplied information and remains subject to engagement-level licensing, lender, product, activity, and compliance confirmation.
How do you process a Florida Housing DPA file through a wholesale lender?
Confirm that the wholesaler is approved for the Florida Housing program and that the loan officer, branch, property, borrower, and selected first-mortgage and assistance products meet the current program path. Florida Housing says down-payment assistance is paired with its first mortgage rather than offered as stand-alone assistance.
- Identify the current first-mortgage product, DPA second, county limits, education requirement, and wholesaler overlays.
- Reconcile the program choice and assistance amount across the LOS, pricing record, eHousingPlus reservation, and lender portal.
- Track first- and second-mortgage disclosures and documents as linked obligations with separate execution checks.
What should be controlled between eHousingPlus and the master servicer?
Florida Housing’s lender pathway describes reservation, underwriter certification, eHousingPlus compliance upload, and master-servicer delivery as distinct checkpoints. The processor should not treat a successful upload in one system as proof that the other review is complete.
- Record reservation and lock milestones from the authorized program system.
- Preflight the compliance package and master-servicer package against their current checklists and naming rules.
- Track exceptions, suspense items, cures, and purchase status separately for each reviewing party.
How do you prevent Florida DPA figures from drifting before closing?
Reconcile the assistance amount, subordinate financing terms, borrower funds, fees, title figures, and debt-to-income treatment whenever the loan amount or closing costs change. The processor surfaces discrepancies; the lender, program administrator, and compliance team decide the permissible cure.
- Compare the latest first-mortgage and second-mortgage figures before final disclosure and again before documents.
- Confirm required homebuyer education and program certifications are complete and current.
- Use current Florida Housing and lender guidance because assistance amounts, products, limits, and administrators can change.

Does My Loan Flow approve Florida Housing eligibility?+
