Loan Programs

We have several mortgage programs to best suite your personal situation. Click here for help choosing the best loan program for you.

The following loan programs are available:

FHA

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers very low down payments (3 - 5 percent). By providing private lenders with mortgage insurance, the FHA gives them the security they need to lend to first-time buyers who might not otherwise qualify for conventional loans. The FHA has helped more than 26 million Americans buy a home. Anyone who meets the credit requirements, can afford the mortgage payment and cash investment, who and who plans to use the mortgaged property as a primary residence may apply for an FHA-insured loan.

VA

Mortgage plans offered through the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA); VA-guaranteed mortgages with no down payment are available to qualified veterans. To qualify for this loan, you must get a certificate of eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Conventional

A private sector loan, this is not guaranteed or insured by the U.S. Government. [More information]

Non-Conforming

Farmers Home

Rural Development

The guaranteed rural housing program offered by the Rural Housing Service (RHS) is for people who meet certain income requirements and wish to buy a home in a rural area. This government guaranteed loan requires no down payment.

Assistance Programs.

Michigan's Mortgage Credit Certificate Program

Michigan's State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and local lending institutions offer you another financial option: A Michigan Mortgage credit certificate, or MCC. The Michigan Mortgage Credit Certificate Program was authorized by Congress as a new concept for providing assistance to homebuyers.

The Mortgage Credit Certificate reduces the amount of federal income tax you pay, thus giving you more available income to qualify for a mortgage and assist you with your house payments. MCC's are available to homebuyers who meet household income and home purchase price limits established by the state legislature and who are eligible under the federal regulations.

Providing income from Home Equity for homeowners 62 and older. We make more American dreams come to life!

Helping Improve Quality of Life

A Reverse Mortgage is designed to help homeowners 62 and older to remain in their homes and enhance their quality of life in retirement.

The reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan that releases Home Equity and converts it to Tax Free income. There are no restrictions on the use of proceeds, the borrower continues to own the home and no monthly payment is required for as long as the borrower resides in the home.

Whether the goal is to increase income, pay for long term care insurance or specialized medical treatment, or enjoy the freedom and choices that help make the retirement years memorable, releasing home equity can be the key to a secure and well planned retirement.
