How do I find out about qualifications for 1st time home buyers assistance in Michigan?

My fiance and I are getting married in September. But since the market is so great for first time home buyers in Michigan we are also semi-actively looking to buy a house. We don't have the kind of cash for a downpayment or closing costs, since it's all in the wedding fund. Should we just wait, or is there assistance that we could find?

4. I am a Michigan Finance Broker and have been for 14 years. There are many programs out there for 1st time home buyers and many with no down payment and also sellers can pay all your closing costs. I am very good at what I do and many times my buyers bring zero to the closing or even sometimes get money back. If you would like to ask me more questions or get you pre-approved I would be glad to assist you. All my clients always come back to me for my honesty and because I explain everything in full detail, never leaving my clients in the dark on what is happening. you may contact me via email.
