In today’s Talk About It Tuesday video, I sat down with Lunden Ware, from Direct Mortgage Investors, to break down what it really takes to become financially and credit ready to buy a home in Michigan!
We covered:
✔️ Down payment assistance programs available to Michigan buyers
✔️ Programs through Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA)
✔️ Buying a home with credit scores in the 500s
✔️ Realistic estimates for down payment & closing costs in today’s market
✔️ Debt-to-income ratio explained in simple terms
✔️ How much money you actually need saved
If you’ve been waiting because you think you need perfect credit or 20% down, this conversation might change your perspective!
The truth? Many buyers qualify sooner than they think.
If you’re in Michigan and want to know what you personally qualify for, let’s connect. I’m happy to guide you through the next step.
