montgomery county: FHA Mortgage Insurance is Changing. A MUST READ - 08/07/10 11:32 AM
As of August 5, 2010 Congress passed bill H.R. 5981, this bill effectively changes the upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) and monthly mortgage insurance for FHA loans.  The good news is the upfront mortgage Insurance is being reduced to 1.00%.  This is down from a high of 2.25%.  This mortgage insurance was usually rolled into the mortgage, not affecting the clients all that much.  This is good news, thou.
