How are FHA loan limits determined?

The Federal Housing Administration establishes FHA loan limits by property type and location. The agency reviews loan limits annually to ensure they align with median home sales prices nationwide. FHA mortgage limits are also calculated as a percentage of conforming loan limits set for conventional loans (non-government-backed mortgages).

FHA loan limits have three categories:

  • Low-cost floor: This is the standard FHA loan limit and is in effect in most U.S. counties and metro areas. The 2025 FHA “floor” is $524,225 for a single-family home.
  • High-cost ceiling: This reflects the highest FHA loan limit and applies to more expensive metro areas. The 2025 FHA “ceiling” is $1,209,750 for a single-family home. Many counties in the country have loan limits between the floor and ceiling.
  • Special exception areas: Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are designated special exception areas with higher limits — $1,814,625 for a single-family home in 2025.

The 2025 FHA loan limit for a single-family home in all Michigan counties is $524,225. Although this amount reflects the FHA’s lowest limit, it’s above the median home price in the state’s most expensive counties.

How to qualify for an FHA loan in Michigan

While the Federal Housing Administration guarantees FHA loans, you won’t borrow directly from the government. Instead, you’ll apply for your mortgage with an FHA-approved lender in Michigan who will confirm you meet these FHA loan requirements:

  • Minimum down payment: The minimum down payment for an FHA loan is 3.5%, with a credit score of 580 or higher (10% for credit scores between 500 and 579).
  • Minimum credit score: You can qualify for an FHA loan with a credit score as low as 500, although you’ll need to put 10% down. To take advantage of the 3.5% down payment, you’ll need a minimum credit score of 580.
  • Maximum DTI ratio: The maximum debt-to-income (DTI) ratio (the sum of your monthly debt payments divided by your monthly pretax income) is generally 43%. However, lenders may allow higher ratios.
  • Mortgage insurance: You’ll pay an upfront FHA mortgage insurance premium of 1.75% of the loan amount (typically financed with the mortgage principal) and an annual mortgage insurance premium of 0.15% to 0.75% of the loan amount (spread across your monthly mortgage payments).
  • Occupancy: You must live in the property as your primary home for at least one year.
  • Income and employment history: FHA loans don’t have income restrictions; however, lenders look for at least two years of stable employment and recurring income.
  • Home appraisal: Your lender will require an FHA appraisal to verify the home’s value and confirm it meets FHA property standards.

Buying a multifamily property with an FHA loan

In addition to offering flexible borrower requirements, FHA loans allow borrowers to purchase a multifamily property, up to four units, with the same 3.5% down payment requirement as single-family homes. Michigan FHA loan limits for multifamily homes reach up to $1,008,300.

Number of unitsLow-cost FHA loan limit
Two$671,200
Three$811,275
Four$1,008,300

Expect to meet the following FHA qualifications for a multifamily home:

  • 3.5% minimum down payment (10% with a credit score between 500 and 579)
  • 580 minimum credit score (with 3.5% down, or 500 with 10% down)
  • Primary residence occupancy. You must live in one of the units as your primary residence for at least one year.
  • Cash reserves: Lenders will verify that you have a certain amount of cash reserves available.
  • Rental income: You can use a portion of the expected rental income to qualify for the loan, though FHA lenders may only consider 75% of the potential rental income to offset your debt-to-income ratio.
