Many millennial college graduates have postponed buying a home because of student loan debt, according to a recent study by Apartment List. Millennial graduates with student loan debt spend almost 12 years saving for a 20 percent down payment on a mortgage, while their debt-free counterparts spend eight years working towards the same goal.
But help is available through the area’s largest homebuilder, Lennar Tampa, and its affiliated mortgage lender, Eagle Home Mortgage, which are offering a Student Loan Debt Mortgage Program.
Through this program, Lennar homebuyers may be eligible to have up to 3 percent of their home’s sales price applied toward their student loan debt. This means a homebuyer who buys a $250,000 home could receive up to $7,500 paid toward student loans.
Eligible homebuyers may also be able to receive up to an additional 3 percent of their home’s sale price paid toward their closing costs, essentially doubling their overall savings on the home.
In Florida, approximately 54 percent of college students graduate with student debt, with the average debt being $24,947. At the University of South Florida, the largest public university in the Tampa Bay area and the fourth-largest in the state, 60 percent of students graduate with unpaid loans.
The Student Loan Debt Mortgage Program is designed to ease the burden for college graduates whose debt is discouraging them from becoming homeowners.
The program is available to first-time or repeat homebuyers, and there are no limitations on age or on how long it’s been since you graduated. This is just one of the ways Lennar strives to make the process of buying a home as simple as possible for homebuyers, regardless of circumstances.

It’s been an exciting year for Lennar, beginning with the strategic merger of Lennar and CalAtlantic Homes, creating the nation’s leading homebuilder. Lennar is now honored to be named Builder of the Year by Builder Magazine. Executive Chairman, Stuart Miller discusses Lennar’s success and future outlook in this recent interview with John McManus.
“Add to cart.” Those three words together set an almost mystical bar of expectations today for billions of people who exchange value for value online and in the real world of commerce. Action, reaction, transaction. What if consumers could click on “add to cart” to buy their next home—the most expensive consumer durable most of us ever buy and the most valuable asset most of us ever own?
“We’re not there yet,” says Stuart Miller, executive chairman at Miami-based Lennar Corp., who spent the past 21 years as CEO of the company before moving into this newly created leadership position in April. A pathway there, as seen in Miller’s own hand-sketched diagram, includes a step-by-step breakdown of key moments in a customer’s chain of home-buying decisions and explorations—from shopping for a wedding dress, for example, or for baby furniture. It starts with a milestone in the consumer’s life, and progresses from there.
“If we can identify that moment of engagement and start a dialogue that’s based on our educating a customer on what she needs, and grow that into an exchange where we learn more and more about our customer so that we can personalize an offering to her, we’ll soon get to the point where we’re there,” Miller says. “We’ll be able to send them a digital envelope that allows them to look at an Everything’s Included version of their own house, and that eliminates every part of the buying process that’s of no value to them, or a pain point for them.”
This experience—seemingly light years from today’s actual home-buying experience—excites Miller as he and the Lennar leadership team (including Rick Beckwitt as CEO and Jon Jaffe as president) place today’s operational performance and tomorrow’s innovation imperatives on a priority par, one as equally critical as the other.
When—not if—Lennar’s brain trust succeeds in remapping its business model backward from the simplicity of a digital point-of-purchase moment where a buyer clicks “add to cart,” the model can start to resemble the logic and elegance of, say, an Amazon. It’s there that logistics, complexity, physical movement, workflows, and time itself disappear, leaving only the who—a ready, willing, and able buyer—and the what—the home he or she wants.
“We become a pure-play builder when we separate out our land and real estate businesses, everything that’s ancillary to our core home building operations, and remove every part of the expense in our process that doesn’t offer value to our consumer,” Miller says. “That’s what we mean when we talk about building a better mousetrap. Our business at that point becomes more fully about the value we create that we can control and stay in control of, and less about areas we don’t impact.”
The pursuit of getting there on a fast track—to that shopping cart instant, an iconic shift that places the consumer at the top of a buyer-seller value chain—speaks to why Lennar’s Miami headquarters pulses like a technological central nervous system. One floor of the space would be hard to tell apart from any Silicon Valley web product development center or a Wall Street trading floor. Flat-screen monitors crawl color-coded, key performance indicator measures that river real-time data feeds in from the enterprise’s 38 home building divisions nationwide.
