Tips for Michigan Home Buyers
- Compare rates from multiple Michigan lenders — even a 0.25% rate difference can save tens of thousands over the life of your loan
- Check your credit score before applying — a higher score means better rates
- Consider bi-weekly payments — paying every two weeks instead of monthly can shave years off your mortgage and save thousands in interest
- Factor in PMI — if your down payment is less than 20%, you’ll pay Private Mortgage Insurance until you reach 80% loan-to-value
