PMI vs. MIP – What’s the Difference?

Posted on by

Purchasing a home, especially for the first time, can feel overwhelming and intimidating. With all of the mortgage and real estate lingo and the sometimes-overwhelming processes and procedures, it’s no wonder buyers often find themselves confused and with lots of questions. One of the most common ones we hear is, “What is mortgage insurance, and why do I need it?”

What is Mortgage Insurance

Mortgage insurance is typically required of home buyers when their down payments are less than 20 percent for their home loans. Note that mortgage insurance is designed to help protect lenders and guarantee agencies when borrowers don’t have enough equity in their homes and is not intended to protect the borrowers. There are two types of mortgage insurance – PMI & MIP.

PMI & MIP

Although the concept of insurance protection is similar, there are distinct differences between private mortgage insurance (PMI) and FHA mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) that should be considered when deciding which loan program best suits your financial needs.

PMI, provided by private companies, is typically available in a variety of premium plans and offers payment options that can usually be tailored to the borrower’s needs. There are a number of private mortgage insurance providers and each structure their offerings a bit differently.

MIP is the government-administered mortgage insurance program for the FHA. Since FHA loans offer reduced down payment options, MIP is required to offset the risk of borrowers defaulting on their loans.

Major Differences Between MIP & PMI

Major differences between these insurance programs include:

  • No upfront mortgage premium required with PMI, while an upfront MIP is required
  • Cancellation
    • PMI can be canceled after a stated LTV (loan-to-value) is achieved and favorable payment history has been established
    • MIP is paid for the life of the loan regardless of LTV. In order to remove MIP, borrowers must refinance their FHA mortgage loans, and meet minimum down payment and credit requirements

FHA & VA Loan Programs

Posted on by

fha_vaFHA & VA Loan Programs

With mortgage rates still low, now is a great time to buy! There are many different loan options out there today that make buying a home achievable, and it is important to understand your options throughout the home buying process. Continuing our discussion on government loans from last week, we want to take some time to discuss your options with FHA & VA loan programs.

 

FHA Mortgage Loans

The FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, offers a low down payment option that can help low income or first time homebuyers purchase a home. Since the Federal Housing Administration insures your mortgage, individual lenders may be more willing to give you loan terms that make it easier for you to qualify. To qualify, you must have proof of steady employment and clear CAIVRS, which is the government’s Credit Alert Interactive Verification Reporting system, to qualify. CAIVRS is a database of those who have defaulted on government loans, owe back taxes, or have other federal debt. If you are on this list, you will not be able to receive the loan unless you can get your report cleared.

Compared to other loan programs, FHA has lower credit score requirements. It does, however, require a minimum score of 580 to qualify for a low down payment. If you are concerned about your credit score, consult your loan officer to find out if you might still qualify. These loans can also have a lower down payment requirement than a conventional loan. Conventional guidelines call for two months of asset reserves at closing, meaning two months of mortgage payments, including taxes and property insurance. FHA has no reserve requirements which means less money spent at the closing table.

Not only can closing costs be paid for by the seller, but the down payment of an FHA loan can also be gifted to the homebuyer. This has become a trend for buyers who are getting married and prefer that their gifts go towards a down payment on a home rather than a wedding registry. If you are getting a gift for your down payment, make sure you document it by getting a gift letter from the person you receive the gift from and be able to document any large deposits to your bank account. This will be required when your application is looked at by an underwriter.

It is important to note that FHA loans can only be used towards the purchase of a primary residence, so if you are looking to purchase a second home or vacation home, you will need to look at other programs. In addition to FHA purchase loans, other FHA options include streamlined and cash-out refinancing, as well as FHA 203k rehabilitation loans, which allow you to combine renovations and the purchase of your home into one loan.

 

VA Loans

If you have served our country, you may qualify for a VA loan. These loans are available for active, non-active, and retired Army, Air Force, Marine, Navy, National Guard, and Coast Guard vets who meet the established service requirements. To qualify, the veteran must have served on active duty and have a discharge other than dishonorable after a minimum of 90 days of service during wartime or a minimum or 181 continuous days during peacetime. There is a two-year requirement if the veteran enlisted and began service after September 7, 1980 or was an officer and began service after October 16, 1981. There is six-year requirement for National Guards and reservists with certain criteria and there are specific rules concerning the eligibility of surviving spouses.

VA loans offer many great benefits to veterans that are worth looking into eligibility for. These benefits include:

  • No Down Payment
  • No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI)
  • Gift Funds are acceptable for closing costs
  • No Cash reserves requirement
  • A variety of terms or loan types available
  • Available for purchase and refinance
  • Reduced costs for disabled veterans
  • Seller can pay closing costs
  • Seller pays for any required repairs
  • No pre-payment penalty

Both of these programs can offer many great benefits to qualified borrowers. If you think one of these programs would be a good match for you, contact one of your local Inlanta Mortgage loan officers to get pre-approved today!

Historically Low Interest Rates

Now is a great time to buy or refinance. Averaging 3.63 percent, the 30-year fixed rate mortgage is at its lowest level since the week ending May 23, 2013 when it averaged 3.59 percent, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) released yesterday. Read our full blog post on rates here.

These lower rates have led to a surge in mortgage applications, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Many people realize that this may be the last chance to lock in at such a low rate before the Fed pushes interest rates higher.

New & Improved Low Down Payment Options

In December, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae announced new affordable low down payment mortgage loan products to help more people realize their dreams of home ownership. Qualified first time home buyers1 can now purchase a home with as low as three percent down2. Read more about these products here.

The low down payment FHA loan program is becoming more affordable for borrowers with limited down payment funds. As of January 26th, the mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) required for this program will be drastically reduced.  The MIP reductions are projected to save more than two million FHA homeowners an average of $900 annually and spur 250,000 new home buyers to purchase their first home over the next three years. Click here to view the press release on MIP reductions from The U.

FHA Back to Work Program

FHA Back to Work Program

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) recently announced its “Back to Work” program, which is giving individuals who suffered a long period of hardship during the recent housing crisis a second chance to prove they can carry a mortgage and own a home.

The program will waive many of the waiting periods associated with a significant “economic event” such as bankruptcy (Chapters 7 and 13), short sale or foreclosure.

Potential candidates may be first-time or repeat home buyers, and the program can be used for the 203K rehab loan.

FHA Back to Work Eligibility

To participate in the program, individuals must be able to demonstrate they’ve recovered fully from the “event”, and document the fact that they did have a household income loss of at least 20 percent for a period of at least six months that coincided with the “event.” They need to prove current, stable and documentable employment to qualify.

They also need to demonstrate a 12-month positive payment history, specifically on-time payment of all mortgage and installment debt.

FHA Back to Work HUD Counseling Sessions

Applicants also must attend counseling sessions before being able to participate in the program. This is usually a one-hour session with a HUD-approved counselor, and was designed to help participants prevent the “economic event” from happening again.

Mortgage Insurance Makes a Difference

Posted on by

mortgage insurance

What is Mortgage Insurance?

Mortgage insurance is required when at least 20 percent of a home’s purchase price is not provided as a down payment. Basically, mortgage insurance protects lenders against homeowner defaults and encourages lenders and investors to make funds available for mortgage lending purposes. Without mortgage insurance, most home buyers would not have access to low down payment mortgage loan programs.

Types of Mortgage Insurances

Mortgage insurance differs by loan program. Conventional mortgages have private mortgage insurance (PMI) and FHA loans have mortgage insurance premiums (MIP).

PMI, or private mortgage insurance, is typically available in a variety of premium plan structures and offers payment options that can usually be tailored to the borrower’s needs. There are a number of private mortgage insurance providers and each structure their offerings a bit differently. Borrowers can typically cancel PMI after reaching 20 percent equity in your home.

FHA mortgage insurance premiums or MIP, are administered by the government. FHA insured loans require an up front mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) as well as an annual premium (usually billed monthly).  Unlike PMI, FHA mortgage insurance premiums are required for the life of the loan.

FHA or Conventional Loans?

While putting down a larger down payment (20%) on your dream home can help you avoid the issue of mortgage insurance all together – many people are not in the position to do so. Since both FHA and conventional mortgage loans offer low down payment options, borrowers often make their decisions based on the mortgage insurance requirements. In fact, changes to FHA mortgage insurance requirements have made conventional loans increasingly attractive to home buyers.

FHA Mortgage Loan Guidelines

Posted on by

FHA Mortgage Loans

What is an FHA Mortgage Loan?

An FHA loan is a mortgage loan that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). An FHA loan is typically one of the easiest types of mortgage loans to qualify for because you can have less-than-perfect credit and the required down payment (3.5 percent) is lower than conventional loans.

FHA Mortgage Loan Qualifications

The FHA imposes certain loan guidelines that FHA-approved lenders and potential borrowers must abide by. In order for an FHA-approved lender, such as Inlanta Mortgage, to approve a borrower for an FHA mortgage loan the borrower must meet the following criteria:

  • Must have steady employment history or a minimum of two years working for the same employer
  • Must have valid social security number
  • Must be using purchased property as primary residence
  • The property mush be appraised by an FHA-approved appraiser

Other qualifying criteria will apply. For more information, find a licensed Inlanta Mortgage loan officer near you using our branch locator. Inlanta Mortgage loan officers can securely accept mortgage applications online. If aren’t sure who to apply with, feel free to apply here and we will redirect your application to a loan officer licensed to originate in your area.

FHA Mortgage Insurance – MIP & UFMIP

Since the guidelines for FHA mortgage loans are less strict than conventional mortgage loans and the loan offers a lower down payment option, there is a higher risk of associated with FHA loans. As a result of this increased risk, the FHA requires borrowers to pay mortgage insurance premiums. There are two kinds of mortgage insurance premiums associated with FHA mortgage loans. The first premium, upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) is one that is paid upfront. In actuality, the UFMIP can be paid in full upfront or financed into the mortgage. The second is an annual insurance premium that is billed monthly. The monthly mortgage insurance premium that will be due each month through the life of the loan. For more information on the FHA mortgage insurance premium collection process, visit Hud.gov.

The expense of FHA mortgage insurance premiums is something you should consider when evaluating various loan programs. Discuss all available Inlanta Mortgage loan program options licensed mortgage loan officer. Your loan officer will be able to help you determine which loan program is best for your unique financial situation.

What is Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI?

Posted on by

Mortgage-Insurance

What is Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI?

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a policy provided by private mortgage insurers to protect lenders against loss if a borrower defaults. The benefit of private mortgage insurance to the borrower is that it allows a borrower to purchase a home without putting down a 20% down payment.

PMI should not be mistaken for MIP, or Mortgage Insurance Premiums, purchased from the government for FHA mortgage loans.

What’s the Difference Between MIP & PMI?

Although the concept of insurance protection is similar, there are distinct differences between private mortgage insurance (PMI) and FHA mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) that should be considered when deciding which loan program suits your financial needs.

PMI is typically is available in a variety of premium plan structures and offers payment options that can usually be tailored to the borrower’s needs. There are a number of private mortgage insurance providers and each structure their offerings a bit differently.

MIP is the government-administered mortgage insurance program that has certain restrictions and has undergone a number of changes recently.

Major Differences Between PMI & MIP

Major differences between these insurance programs include:

  • Only a monthly premium is required with PMI while MIP requires both an upfront MIP (UFMIP) and a monthly premium.
  • PMI can be canceled after a stated LTV is achieved and favorable payment history has been established, while MIP is paid for the life of the loan.

Buying a House? How About a Fixer-Upper?

Posted on by

FHA-203k-home-repair

Are you having a hard time finding a property in your price range?
Have you considered a fixer-upper?

Finance House and Repairs

If you find a house with potential on the lower end of your budget, an FHA 203K rehabilitation loan allows you to finance repairs and the house purchase in one loan.

A bedroom addition, a family room extension, an upgraded kitchen and a bathroom remodel are a few of the options available to you with an FHA 203K rehabilitation loan.

Five Reasons to Consider FHA 203K Loan

  1. Turn an average home into a dream home. Qualifed homebuyers can improve less-than-perfect homes in desirable locations or address property shortcomings immediately without draining savings.
  2. Make the home your own – removing the previous owner’s style. Everyone has different tastes – you don’t have to live with the previous owner’s choices.
  3. Fix things the previous owner may have ignored – windows, roof repairs, etc.
  4. Get more house for the money. REOs and foreclosures are still a large part of the real estate inventory. Buyers can take advantage of reduced home prices.
  5. Rolling rehabilitation costs into the mortgage allows borrowers access to repair funds at lower rates.

FHA 203K Program Eligibility

  1. Down Payment – 3.5% of total amount of purchase plus costs of repairs – gift funds allowed
  2. Seller contributions – seller may contribute 6% of purchase prices toward closing cost and prepaids
  3. Purchase of owner occupied primary residence that have been completed for at least one year.

Rent or Buy? You May Want to Decide Soon

Posted on by

Rent or Buy

If you are considering a home purchase and don’t have a ton of money for a down payment, now may be the best time to apply. Why now?

Changes to Mortgage Insurance

When buyers, especially first time home buyers, don’t have a lot for a down payment they often opt for an FHA loan. FHA loans are government backed loans that require borrowers to pay mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance on FHA loans typically drops off once you have enough equity in your home and have a established a good payment history. So what’s the big change? On June 1, 2013 – mortgage insurance will no longer drop off. As of that date, mortgage insurance will be required for the life of the loan.

What does that mean to you? More money out of your pocket.

House Prices on the Rise

Home affordability continues to remain high – but home prices have begun their inevitable rise with high demand and scarce home inventory levels. Home prices rose 9.7 percent in January from a year ago, according to data released today by CoreLogic. This is the biggest annual gain since April 2006.

Why should you care? The obvious answer is that you will pay more for a home. Another reason to care is that once that home is yours – you will appreciate the increasing value of your property in the form of long term wealth accumulation.

Rent or Buy –  Which is Better?

Ultimately, the decision to rent or buy is based upon a number of factors. Maybe you’re ready to be a home owner, maybe your not. However, it never hurts to understand your options. Consult a licensed mortgage loan officer today to discuss your specific home financing needs. Consultations and mortgage loan pre-approvals are free.

Deadline for FHA Borrowers

Posted on by

FHA Deadlines

Borrowers should be aware of some important FHA deadlines.

Many of us rely on low down payment mortgage options when seeking to become a home owner. FHA mortgages, backed by the Federal Housing Administration, are one low down payment mortgage loan option.

Increasing Monthly Insurance Premiums

While the 3.5% minimum down payment option will continue, monthly payments for borrowers who opt for an FHA mortgage will soon be facing higher monthly payments. Why? The FHA is changing its policies and will increase the monthly insurance premium borrowers pay. To avoid this increase in monthly insurance premiums, borrowers must apply for an FHA mortgage loan no later than March 28th and the lender they apply with must obtain a valid case number by March 29th.

If you are considering a home purchase and think the 3.5% down payment option would be your best option – contact a licensed mortgage loan officer as soon as possible so you are not subject to the premium increase in effect beginning April 1st.

Another FHA Mortgage Insurance Premium Change

Another policy change that may encourage you to begin your loan application sooner (than later) is the FHA’s decision to make mortgage insurance mandatory for either a minimum of 11 years or the life of the mortgage loan based on the Loan-to-Value (LTV) at the time of the loan closing effective for all case numbers assigned on or after June 3rd. Currently, the insurance fee is dropped once the outstanding balance falls to 78 percent of the home’s value or 5 years from the date when the money was borrowed.

We don’t mean to pressure! We just want those in the market for a new home to realize the cost savings that can be realized by getting an application in before March 28th.

Inlanta Mortgage loan officers can answer your specific questions and help you determine if an FHA mortgage loan is right for you.
