Frequently Asked Mortgage Questions in Michigan

What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage?
Conventional loans usually need higher scores, but FHA is flexible. VA and USDA may allow lower scores if you qualify. Kirby & Angie review your whole profile and make a plan.

How much do I need for a down payment?
VA and USDA can be $0 down. FHA requires 3.5% down. Conventional can start at 3%. Michigan also offers assistance programs that Kirby & Angie can walk you through.

How fast can I close on a home?
With documents in on time, many loans are clear to close in about 20 business days.

Do mortgage rates change by city or ZIP code?
No — rates are based on your loan type, credit, and down payment. What changes city-to-city are property taxes and insurance, which affect your total monthly payment.

Can I refinance if I just bought my home?
Yes. If today’s rates or programs improve your payment, or you want cash out, refinancing can be an option. Kirby & Angie run the numbers so you know if it makes sense.

FHA Loans

FHA and RD loans are great for buyers seeking low or zero down payment options, with more lenient credit requirements—perfect for first-timers or rural areas. On the flip side, FHA loans carry mortgage insurance premiums, and RD loans are limited by location and income qualifications. Contact Kirby and Angie to get your application started!

VA Loans

VA loans benefit eligible veterans and service members by offering zero down payments and no private mortgage insurance, easing the path to homeownership. Their main caveat is the VA funding fee (unless exempt) and the requirement to meet specific service-related criteria. Contact Kirby and Angie to get your application started!

About
Arch Mortgage - North

Our goal was never to be a giant.

We’ve worked at the big guns and were ready for something different. We wanted to provide an experience that was more than just an endless stack of paperwork, and months of bad communication. We knew that in order to really give our clients a personal and dynamic experience, to keep them coming back to us for years to come, we had to be small, nimble, and better than everyone else at the table.

Arch Mortgage was founded by a small group experienced Loan Officers in Northville, Michigan who wanted to bring their 20+ years experience to a more personal, swift and enjoyable mortgage process for customers. In 2020, this ethos and service was brought to Northern Michigan, and Arch Mortgage North was born. The company continues to grow, but at a managed pace to ensure that we never lose sight of the customer or the level of service we promise to provide.

We answer the phone when you call.

We collaborate to ensure the most creative, successful solutions for customers.

We get it done.

Serving All of Michigan including Office Locations and Virtual Offices Traverse City, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Manistee, Cadillac, Gaylord, Grayling, Houghton Lake, Frankfort Grand Rapids, Detroit
