Yes you will be required to pay 1 years Taxes and Insurance and advance and then 1/12 of the taxes insurance everymonth will be escrowed by the lender until they are due. FHA is still the best loan for the Florida first time homebuyer. http://www.fhamortgageprograms.com/

Of course, what is ultimately allowed by FHA will also depend on the lender's guidelines. Some lenders may have credit score requirements, even though FHA does not.
