Jumbo Loans in Detroit: what to expect
A jumbo loan in Detroit is a mortgage larger than the conforming loan limit the FHFA sets each year, so it cannot be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Buyers of higher-priced homes in Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, Northville and parts of downtown and Midtown Detroit often need one.
Because jumbo loans are held by the lender or sold to private investors, guidelines vary. Expect closer review of income and assets, more cash reserves after closing, and in some cases a second appraisal. Some lenders offer jumbo loans as portfolio loans with flexible terms for self-employed or high-asset borrowers.
Get a pre-approval early, since jumbo underwriting takes longer, and compare Metro Detroit mortgage lenders.

Licensing and disclosures in Michigan
Michigan licenses mortgage brokers, lenders and servicers through DIFS (the Department of Insurance and Financial Services), and individual mortgage loan originators need their own license unless an exemption applies. Banks and credit unions are exempt from the state company license, and their loan officers are registered in NMLS instead. Either way, the NMLS ID must appear on applications and ads: look it up on NMLS Consumer Access.
Jumbo purchase and refinance loans on a home come with a Loan Estimate and a Closing Disclosure, the same as smaller mortgages.
