Hi @Jacqueline Diez, thank you for your service. My father was in the service too and planted his roots in South Florida as you are doing now when he transitioned out of military life. I would recommend reaching out to @Malgorzata Sadowska. She is an expert here in South Florida and will be able to provide you with sound advice. Above all, she is a great person!  

Also happy to connect with you as well!

Hi @Steven Wachtel, I don't see any reason as to why you wouldn't be able to refinance to a second home. You would just have to be able to qualify from a debt to income ratio stand point. I see people financing non-warrantable condos as a second home in the panhandle area all the time. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Happy to help.
