Mortgage

A MSHDA loan is a mortgage offered through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to help eligible Michigan homebuyers purchase a primary residence. Depending on the program, borrowers may receive assistance with their down payment, closing costs, or certain prepaid expenses. Eligibility may depend on credit score, household income, home price, property location, and whether the home will be owner-occupied.
