First-Time Homebuyer Night | Melbourne, FL

A relaxed evening for first-time homebuyers: panel + open Q&A with local mortgage experts. Free at Intracoastal Brewing Co.
About this Event

Mortgage Mix & Mingle is one relaxed evening at Intracoastal Brewing Company built entirely around your questions. Local mortgage experts break down down payments, credit, and Florida first-time buyer programs in plain English — then stick around so you can ask anything, one-on-one.

Sound familiar?

• "The down payment feels impossible." A 20% down payment is not required for every mortgage loan. Some loan programs allow qualified borrowers to purchase with a lower down payment — and we'll cover a general overview of Florida down payment assistance programs.
• "My credit isn't where I want it." What lenders generally consider, and steps that may help you prepare for homeownership over the next 6–18 months.
• "Programs and grants are confusing." State and local programs — like Hometown Heroes and FL Assist — explained in plain English, including general eligibility guidelines.
• "I don't even know where to start." Leave with a clearer picture of your next step — whether you're buying this fall or in a couple of years.

What you'll walk away with

1. How Florida first-time buyer programs work — down payment assistance, grants, and where to find current program details.
2. What lenders generally consider — credit, income, savings — and how to prepare on your timeline.
3. Answers to your midnight Google questions — 401(k) withdrawals, low-down-payment options, closing costs — from people who've helped hundreds of first-time homebuyers.
4. One-on-one time with a mortgage expert — if you want it. No appointment, no obligation.
