Apply for an FHA Mortgage

The FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums, mostly commonly referred to as MIP, are charged by HUD to protect investors against default. Using these premiums paid into a fund, HUD Guarantees the performance of every FHA Loan and protects a percentage of the lender’s investment. In return, this mandatory premium enables borrowers who might not otherwise fit within Freddie/Fannie conventional guidelines, to receive funding for the purpose of Buying A Home or Refinancing at conventional Mortgage Rates.

The net affect of the premiums on your loan are not that much different than the more traditional PMI premiums charged on a conventional mortgage. If you compare them, you’ll find that the monthly MIP payment with the FHA mortgage is typically less than half the cost of PMI. What many borrowers are usually concerned with is the upfront MIP which is added into the loan at financing.
