a. A first-time homebuyer, with HUD-approved counseling, will pay only 2.00% for the upfront mortgage insurance premiums.

 

Just a reminder that the above chart is for the New Upfront PMI for FHA loan. It is fast approaching and you don't want to be caught using the old percentages which would drastically hinder your loan for your customer.

Also please remember that the footnote states, taht A First Time Home Buyer, with HUD approved counseling will pay only 2% for the upfront.

I hope this information is helpful. Have a great day !

Geat update, however, have you heard that they were going to redo the FHA premiums yet again around the same time Hope for Homeowners Act sets in?  I know this only a proposal, but have you heard that same?

Just interested in what another loan officer was hearing.

Thanks for your help, and good luck to you and your business!
