Loan Programs Covered

Here is a list of loan programs we will discuss.  During the event we will be talking about general qualifications, down payment requirements, credit scores, program restrictions, and ways we use each program to solve problems and jump thru hoops.

  • How the MSHDA add-on works with Conventional, FHA, RD, & VA
  • MI Home Loan Mortgage:  which offers down payment assistance up to $10,000 and also interest rate reduction options
  • MI Home Loan Flex Mortgage: which offers down payment assistance up to $7,500
  • Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)  – a tax credit for home buyers
  • Housing Education

A key element in becoming a high preforming agent is education and training.  Come learn from one of the best!  Speaker Jeremy Drobeck was the number 2 producer in Southwest Michigan for MSHDA loans in 2021.  He brings a wealth of knowledge on the topic.
