MI state processing guide
Contract Mortgage Processing in Michigan
My Loan Flow supports Michigan mortgage brokers across conventional, government, and specialty wholesale files. When a file uses MSHDA assistance, the processor coordinates the current lender approval path, reservation, first-mortgage documents, DPA documents, and application and closing-file delivery in MSHDA’s lender system.
Coverage is based on company-supplied information and remains subject to engagement-level licensing, lender, product, activity, and compliance confirmation.
How do you set up a Michigan MI Home Loan with down-payment assistance?
Confirm the participating lender, current MSHDA product, borrower and property eligibility, first-mortgage type, assistance structure, and education requirements before reservation. The current MI 10K DPA page identifies FHA, Rural Development, and conventional first-mortgage paths, subject to current MSHDA rules.
- Capture the current program and lender requirements in a file-specific checklist.
- Keep the first mortgage, DPA obligation, and borrower funds synchronized in the LOS and program system.
- Escalate eligibility questions to the participating lender or MSHDA instead of interpreting exceptions as approved.
What goes into MSHDA’s application and closing-file workflow?
MSHDA describes Lender Online as the place participating lenders reserve and lock loans and upload application and closing files. A processing control plan separates documents needed for program review from documents needed for the lender’s credit and closing review, while tracking both against one closing date.
- Verify reservation data against the LOS and lender portal before uploading the application file.
- Track MSHDA suspense conditions separately from wholesale-lender underwriting conditions.
- Build the closing file from the current MSHDA checklist and reconcile executed program documents before delivery.
How do you keep MSHDA assistance accurate when the loan changes?
Recheck program eligibility, assistance figures, borrower contribution, cash to close, subordinate-financing disclosures, and delivery documents whenever the loan amount, product, property, income, or closing costs change. Current MSHDA and lender instructions override earlier file notes.
- Maintain a dated change log for revisions that affect program data.
- Confirm that the current figures flow to the assistance documents and final closing package.
- Do not represent reservation, underwriting, compliance approval, or purchase as interchangeable statuses.
