Beyond principal & interest

Plan for the full cost of owning

Every home comes with ownership expenses, including a homeowners insurance policy and property taxes. The land contract payments shown above are principal & interest only — insurance and taxes are additional.

Homeowners insurance

About $600/year

Approximately $50/month to budget.

Most of our current property insurance policies cost around this amount. Your premium depends on the home, coverage and insurer; this is a planning estimate, not an insurance quote.

Property taxes · Saginaw, MI

About $1,579/year

Approximately $132/month to budget.

Pulled from the average reported annual taxes of 20 Saginaw properties advertised for under $80,000 (asking price, not appraised or taxable value). This is a sample-based planning figure, not a citywide average or the tax bill for any home listed here. It does not apply to Flint or other locations.

Tax estimate sources & method

20 listings were randomly drawn without replacement from a convenience pool of 21 distinct city-targeted residential listings found through public searches. The pool was sorted by research address, then selected using Python random.Random(20261024).sample. This is random only within that search pool, not a representative sample of all Saginaw homes. Prices and annual tax fields come from indexed listing text, not independently reconciled municipal bills. Tax years include 2024–2026 and years not reported; owner-occupancy exemptions and current parcel jurisdictions were not independently confirmed. One pool listing permits an optional bundle purchase but has an individual asking price. Past taxes may differ from a buyer's future bill. Researched October 24, 2026.

Actual costs vary. In Michigan, taxable value can reset after an ownership transfer, so a buyer’s taxes may be higher than a seller’s past bill. Owner-occupied exemptions also affect taxes. Confirm the home’s taxes, exemptions and insurance with the local assessor and your insurer before committing. Michigan ownership-transfer guidance · Principal residence exemption

Our Mission

Bringing owning your home within reach.

We know renting can get frustrating. Rising rents, landlords who won't fix things, and the feeling that you're paying for someone else's future. Homeownership Revival exists to change that — giving hardworking families a real, flexible path to owning the place they call home.

Rent keeps going up

Every renewal brings another increase — with nothing to show for it.

Building someone else's equity

Your monthly payment pays off a landlord's mortgage, not your own.

Banks said no

Credit hiccups or self-employment shouldn't lock you out of owning.

No control over your space

Want to paint, garden, or get a dog? Ownership means it's yours.
