Comparison preview

MI Home Loan

Amount: Statewide MSHDA first-mortgage backbone with optional MI 10K down payment assistance. Current state materials say the MI Home Loan sales-price limit is $544,233 after May 1, 2025 and that borrowers can pair the mortgage with the statewide MI 10K DPA Loan up to $10,000.

Repayment: The public MI Home Loan page describes the core product as a first mortgage path. Standard repayment follows the underlying mortgage. If the borrower adds MI 10K DPA, that separate second-loan repayment schedule applies under the MI 10K rules rather than under this page alone.

First-time buyer: Not required

Timing: Apply through a participating MSHDA lender; after MSHDA issues a loan commitment, it is valid for 90 days for an existing home or 180 days for new construction.
