Simply because of the undesirable loans offered in the early 2000’s, FHA had a drop in its MMI to 1.44%. In an work to rebuild to it’s original two%, FHA has made the move to boost its annual mortgage insurance premiums on most FHA backed mortgage loans. This equals out to you (the borrower) as an improve of ten points annually, or .10 percentage points. The increase applies to all loan terms beneath FHA, like 15 and 30 year fixed price mortgages, which are the two most well-known.

Beginning 4/1/13, you may possibly no longer take away the MIP throughout the life of the loan if the beginning loan balance is higher than 90% of its appraised value.
