100% Gift Funds Mortgage Programs in Florida

Most mortgage programs require some borrower-sourced funds toward the down payment and closing - but a growing set of programs accept 100% of those funds as a gift from a documented donor. The donor signs a gift letter, the funds are wired into closing, and the borrower can close with zero personal cash on the table.

Frequently asked questions

Who can gift funds for a mortgage?

Acceptable donors vary by program but typically include: parents, grandparents, siblings, spouse, fiancé, domestic partner, godparents, and employer (for relocation). Cash from non-relatives (friends, business partners) typically does not qualify.

Does the donor need to be a US citizen?

No. The donor can be foreign as long as funds are wired to a US bank account and seasoned (typically 30-60 days) before closing.

Can I use 100% gift funds on an investment property?

Most agency investment programs require borrower-sourced funds. A handful of non-QM DSCR programs accept 100% gift; check program-by-program.

What's in a gift letter?

Donor name + address + relationship to borrower, gift amount, statement that no repayment is expected, donor signature. Most lenders provide a standard form.
