The best mortgage rates are always from the owner of the home
you want to buy.  Always make this the first place you look for a
mortgage.

 > The house will be in Florida  What is a good 30yr rate these
days?

For A paper (the best credit risk and large down payment) 7 to 8
percent would be a good rate.                =

>It would be best for me to have a preapproved loan.
Yes, get pre approved before you make an offer on any house.

> Does it generally cost anything to get a preapproval?
This varies with the lender. Check it out with them.

> How far in advance can a preapproval be and still hold the rate?
The longer you want a "Lock In" of the interest rate, the more
money it is going to cost you.  Get you pre approval when you are
ready to buy.

GOOD LUCK
