Reminder: the annual Mortgage Insurance Premium for FHA forward mortgages will increase effective for FHA case numbers assigned on or after April 18, 2011. FHA will increase annual premiums collected on a monthly basis for traditional purchase and refinance products. There are no changes to the Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium.
The rate will go up by .25% more, to a total of 1.15%. This will equate to a MI payment of approximately $191.66 on a $200,000 mortgage. The consumer gets socked with $41 more in cost per month, from which they see no additional benefit.
