Loan Programs Available in Key Biscayne
Foreign National Mortgages
Key Biscayne is one of Florida's top markets for Latin American buyers. Our foreign national programs require no US credit history, accept foreign income documentation, and offer competitive terms with 30-40% down for buyers from Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and beyond.
Jumbo Loans
Nearly all Key Biscayne properties exceed conforming loan limits. We offer jumbo loans from $1M to $20M with competitive rates and flexible qualifying — including interest-only options and asset-depletion programs for high-net-worth buyers.
Condo & Non-Warrantable Financing
Many Key Biscayne condos don't meet standard Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac warrantability guidelines. Our portfolio and non-warrantable condo programs provide financing where traditional lenders cannot — covering investor concentration, litigation, and other issues.
Asset-Based Loans
Qualify using investment portfolios, offshore accounts, and liquid assets rather than traditional income. Ideal for international buyers and high-net-worth investors who hold significant wealth outside standard W-2 income structures.
DSCR Investment Loans
Finance Key Biscayne investment properties based on rental income rather than personal income. With strong short-term and long-term rental demand, DSCR loans are a powerful tool for investors looking to grow their island real estate portfolio.
Bank Statement Loans
Business owners and international entrepreneurs can qualify using 12-24 months of personal or business bank statements. Particularly valuable for Latin American buyers whose domestic income doesn't translate directly into US tax returns.
Portfolio Loans
Custom solutions for unique properties, large multi-unit purchases, and buyers with complex financial profiles. Our in-house portfolio team evaluates every situation individually — maximizing approval options for Key Biscayne's sophisticated buyers.
Second Home & Vacation Financing
Finance a Key Biscayne vacation retreat with favorable second-home mortgage rates. Ideal for buyers whose primary residence is abroad or in another US city who want a Miami island escape with financing advantages.

Market Commentary
Key Biscayne's fundamental value proposition is simple: you cannot build more island. The 1.5-square-mile village's strict zoning, protected parklands, and ocean boundaries create a permanently supply-constrained market that has consistently outperformed the broader Miami market over the long term.
Latin American buyers — particularly from Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil — represent a major force in the Key Biscayne market. The island's safety, exclusivity, and quality of life closely match what this buyer profile seeks. Many purchase as primary residences, vacation homes, or investment properties held for generational wealth.
Financing Key Biscayne properties requires expertise in foreign national programs, non-warrantable condo guidelines, and jumbo loan structures. Lifetime Capital Funding's bilingual team and deep experience in international buyer financing gives our clients a clear advantage in this specialized market.
Key Biscayne Mortgage FAQ
Can foreign nationals from Latin America get a mortgage on Key Biscayne?
Yes — this is one of our most common loan types in Key Biscayne. We specialize in foreign national mortgages for buyers from Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and throughout Latin America. Programs require 30-40% down payment, accept foreign income documentation, and do not require US credit history. Our bilingual team guides buyers through the entire process in Spanish or English.
Are Key Biscayne condos warrantable for conventional financing?
Many Key Biscayne condo buildings are non-warrantable due to high investor concentration, pending litigation, or other factors that prevent them from meeting Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines. We offer non-warrantable condo financing through our portfolio loan programs — this is a critical advantage for Key Biscayne buyers that most lenders cannot match.
What jumbo loan options are available for Key Biscayne properties?
We offer jumbo loans from $807K to $20M for Key Biscayne properties. Programs include conventional jumbo (10-20% down), asset-based qualification, interest-only options, foreign national programs (30-40% down), and bank statement loans for business owners. Most Key Biscayne purchases require jumbo financing given median values above $2M.
Can I use a Key Biscayne condo as an investment/rental property?
Yes. DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans allow you to finance Key Biscayne investment properties based on rental income rather than personal income. With strong short-term rental demand on the island, this can be a highly effective qualification path. Foreign nationals can also access investment property financing through our specialized programs.
Do you offer bilingual mortgage services for Spanish-speaking buyers?
Absolutely. Our team serves Spanish-speaking buyers throughout the Key Biscayne process — from initial consultation and pre-approval through closing. We understand the specific concerns of Latin American buyers, including FATF compliance, source-of-funds documentation, and navigating US financial systems for the first time.
What's the difference between a second home and investment property mortgage in Key Biscayne?
Second home mortgages (for properties you use personally and don't rent long-term) offer more favorable rates and lower down payment requirements — typically 10-20%. Investment property mortgages (for properties held primarily for rental income) require 20-30% down but offer the flexibility to qualify based on rental income. We'll help you structure your purchase to maximize your financing advantage.
