FHA MORTGAGE ALERT CHANGES

MORTGAGE ALERT!

Please note that effective with all new FHA loans (defined as new Case number assignments) on/after July 14th, HUD is implementing new “risk based premiums” on both the up-front and monthly mortgage insurance. The chart is based upon FICO scores and Loan-to-Value (LTV).

In some cases the up-front premium is actually lower and in most typical cases the monthly premium is slightly higher. As a comparison, currently the typical 3% down, 30-year loan carries an up-front premium of 1.50% and monthly premium on .50% (150/50).

Please be aware that these changes will affect both the final loan amount AND the monthly payment.

If you are working with a buyer that might be negatively affected by these changes, get them in process before July 14th!
