Kalamazoo at a glance
The numbers that actually move your monthly payment here.
Home values: Zillow Home Value Index, July 31, 2026. Millage: Michigan Dept. of Treasury, 2025. Tax figure is an estimate based on Michigan taxable value being about half of market value — not a quote. Your bill depends on your taxable value and school district.
Kalamazoo is a rental-heavy market
Which changes both what you can buy and how it is financed.
- 57.1% of homes here are renter-occupied.
- A rental does not get the principal-residence exemption, so it is taxed at 65.63 mills instead of 47.63 — roughly $2,208 a year more on a $245,332 property.
- Investor files can qualify on the property’s rent rather than your tax returns, which is usually the better structure here.
In Kalamazoo, the school district changes the tax bill
- Kalamazoo covers 4 school districts: Parchment School Dis; Comstock; Portage; Kalamazoo City Schoo.
- Kalamazoo City Schoo carries the highest rate here at 50.79 mills; Parchment School Dis the lowest at 47.63.
- On a $245,332 home that is roughly $32 a month between them — the same house, the same income, a different approval amount.
- Ask which district an address falls in before you write the offer, not after.
Who Atlantis works with around Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo has about 73,132 residents and a median household income of $48,965. Roughly 42.9% of homes here are owner-occupied. 8.9% of workers are based at home, which tracks closely with the kind of self-employed income a bank reads badly.
Across Kalamazoo County there are 18,417 businesses with no paid employees, concentrated in professional & technical services (2,548); personal & repair services (2,230); real estate (2,014). That figure counts tax filings rather than people. Those owners are the files Atlantis writes most.

Why Kalamazoo borrowers call Jason
- A broker, not a bank. A bank has one rulebook. Atlantis shops 50+ wholesale lenders, so a file that does not fit one lender moves to another instead of dying.
- The owner works your file. 28 years, more than $2 billion funded, and he picks up the phone himself.
- Built for tricky income. Self-employed, 1099, business owners and investors are the core of what Atlantis does, not an exception it tolerates.
- Licensed and verifiable. Company NMLS #129429, Jason NMLS #137016 — check both at NMLS Consumer Access. 83 reviews on Birdeye

K.M., Wayne MI · NextdoorQuick questions
How do I reach Jason?
Call or text 248-408-2555. That is his own line, not a call center. No application is needed to ask a question.
Do you have an office in Kalamazoo?
Atlantis Mortgage is at 30110 Orchard Lake Rd in Farmington Hills and is licensed across Michigan, plus Florida, Texas and California. Most of the process runs by phone and secure upload.
Can I get a mortgage in Kalamazoo if I am self-employed?
Yes. Atlantis places these files with lenders that qualify you on 12 or 24 months of bank deposits, 1099s or assets instead of tax returns. It is the core of what Jason does.
Why will my property taxes go up when I buy?
Michigan caps a home’s taxable value while one owner holds it, and the cap comes off at sale. At $245,332, a Kalamazoo principal residence runs about $487 a month once it uncaps. Estimate only.
