Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

All residential loans

All residential loans are not subject to usury limits in Michigan. While some consumer loans may have rate caps, Michigan law specifically exempts most residential mortgages from traditional usury restrictions.

B

Commercial loans only

Commercial loans are not the only type subject to usury laws, and this option incorrectly suggests commercial loans are exclusively regulated. In fact, Michigan's usury laws apply to various loan types beyond just commercial ones.

C

Most residential mortgages are exempt from usury limits

Correct Answer
D

Only FHA loans

FHA loans are not the only type exempt from usury limits. While federally backed loans may have special considerations, Michigan's exemption extends to most conventional residential mortgages, not just government-insured loans.

Why is this correct?

Most residential mortgages in Michigan are exempt from usury limits, allowing market rates to prevail. This exemption is specifically designed for primary residence financing, which is a critical exception to traditional usury laws that cap interest rates.
