Hi Everyone,

As far as i understand for a 30 years fix program here is how much MI my client should pay:
1- up front MI (1.5% of the loan amount)
2-monthly MI (0.5%) for 5 years

please let me know if my information is correct. THANK YOU.

1.5% up front (or financed by adding to the loan amount). The monthly of 0.50% will continue for a minimum of five years but will not be cancelled until the LTV reaches 78%. The 78% LTV is based on the lesser of the original sales price or appraised value at origination.

Missed the heading about 70% LTV so yes, the MMI should be for five years only. I do not believe that the MMI ends automatically though. Maybe someone else will jump in with that answer.

Unless you do a 15 year, then no monthly if he is 89.99% LTV or below. However 1.5% is still required

Yes, as with any insurance policy, which is what FHA does, you have your initial premium (MIP) and your on-going payments (MMI). Only a loan term of 15 years or less will allow the waiving of the MMI if LTV less than 90%.
