Just wanted to remind everyone to pull your FHA case numbers before April 5th in order to receive the current up-front mortgage insurance premium of 1.75%. The rate increases to 2.25% for case numbers pulled on or after April 5th - that's next Monday.
Update: With business closed and Monday being April 5th, loan officers now need to remember to use the new rate of 2.25% when calculating up-front mortgage insurance for an FHA loan.
In other FHA news, more changes regarding seller contributions to closing costs will occur in the summer - it will be going from 6% to 3% and unfortunately is said to include the seller's side of title insurance and possibly even the transfer tax.
