FHA MORTGAGE INSURANCE PREMIUM

FHA mortgage insurance premium is being reduced starting March 2023. This affords the first time buyer that is on the fence financially for home affordability and access to stability and wealth creation of homeownership with hikes in the mortgage interest rates. This premium is based on the sales price of the home. For example a 460,000 home you can save approximately 110 dollars a month.

This fee was established after the 2005 foreclosure and short sale season to offset the banks loss. There is no mortgage insurance premium using a conventional loan and twenty percent down and using a VA loan. However using a conventional restrictions apply to qualify for that loan and can change from time to time. Of course, cash is king. As per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau you have the right by law to request from your lender to cease making this additional monthly payment once you have paid off 78 to 80% of your loan.
