FHA Loans
Michigan FHA loans allow first time home buyers and current homeowners to purchase their new home with only a 3.5% down payment and allows the seller to pay up to 6% of the sale price towards your closing costs keeping your out of pocket expenses low! Michigan FHA mortgage loans are more flexible than conventional mortgage loans. If you have had small bumps in your past credit history and are working with a smaller amount of money, an FHA mortgage loan may give you a lower payment and cash to close than a conventional mortgage.
