Own The Roof Connecting home Buyers with available down payment assistance grants programs

10/14/2026

Two-bedroom rentals in Harper Woods run $1,300–$1,400 for about 1,000 square feet and one bathroom. The mortgage here lands around $1,900 — $500 more a month for double the space, twice the bathrooms, and a payment nobody raises on you next year.

Ran it through ZeroDownScout: 6 down payment assistance programs came back. Biggest is $10,000 through MSHDA — zero interest, no monthly payment. Closing costs are about $9,000, so that covers those plus most of the down payment. Roughly $2,300 out of pocket to move in. Not $23,000 :)

Stop waiting for a house with character to show up in your price range.

This one on Longfellow in Royal Oak is swallowed in ivy front to peak. Three bedrooms, 1,958 square feet, minutes from downtown, and the seller just cut $15,000 off the price.

I ran it through ZeroDownScout too — Royal Oak sits well under Michigan’s price cap for down payment assistance programs, so check before you assume you’re priced out.

A $1,400 rental in Detroit gets you 900 square feet and one bathroom.

I ran this three bedroom, four bath on Hartwell Street through ZeroDownScout and six down payment assistance programs came back — the biggest being $25,000 from the City of Detroit. That puts the cash to move in at around $2,550 on a 2,644 square foot mid-century brick and fieldstone home.

Most renters are already paying what a mortgage would cost. In this free class we'll pull up actual listings, run the real numbers side by side against what the same-size rental goes for, and walk through the Michigan assistance programs that cover the down payment. Wednesday, October 7 at 7PM EST.

Most Detroit ranches are 1,100 square feet. This one's 2,200.

I ran this brick ranch on Redfern through ZeroDownScout and found $15,000 in assistance. Three bedrooms, two baths, double the space of a typical ranch — and all of it on one floor. You don't need massive savings to get into it.

Three full bathrooms in a house built in the 1930s almost never happens.

I ran this center-entrance colonial on Harvard Road through ZeroDownScout and found $15,000 in assistance. Three bedrooms, 2,400 square feet, all brick — in East English Village. You don't need massive savings to get into it.

I ran this 4-bedroom all-brick home on Woodmont Ave through ZeroDownScout and found 6 down payment assistance programs, including up to $15,000 through the Michigan Step Forward program with zero interest and no monthly payments. With most closing costs covered, you don't need massive savings to move right in.

They just knocked $24,000 off this one.

I ran this brick ranch on Fleming through ZeroDownScout and found $25,000 in assistance. A cut that size means the seller's motivated, and it comes with a pool and hot tub out back. You don't need massive savings to get into it.

This storybook Tudor in Detroit is proof that character doesn't have to cost a fortune.

I ran this East English Village listing through ZeroDownScout and found $25,000 in down payment assistance, which could bring your upfront costs to zero. It features an arched stone entry and a beautiful garden that shows someone truly cared for this home.
