National Mortgage Help
The Government created the Making Homeownership Affordable program where homeowners work with a Housing Counselor and their mortgage company to either modify or delay the payments to their mortgage company.
If a mortgage modification is made, a homeowner has to update their documentation every 30 days to confirm they still qualify for the program and can earn incentives for paying their new mortgage payment on time.
Michigan Mortgage Help
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) works with homeowners in the State of Michigan by providing up to $30,000 in an interest free loan to help with mortgage, property taxes, and insurance payments that have been missed.
The program is forgivable at 20% a year as long as the homeowner continues living in the home but there are restrictions on selling the property if a homeowner uses this program.
Our team are experts at working with MSHDA for resale on this program so contact us before selling if you’ve used this program in the past to know what to expect at closing.
