FHA UPDATE: Higher Mortgage Insurance Premiums Effective April 18, 2011

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released mortgagee letter 2011-10 announcing an increase in the current Monthly MIP by 25 BPS for all FHA loans;  the Up Front MIP will not change from its current 100 BPS.

So on a 30 year FHA loan at 96.5% Loan to Value (max financing), the monthly MIP will increase from its current 90 BPS to 115 BPS  (As recently as April 2010, the monthly MIP was 55 BPS...so this represents an ongoing unfavorable movement in the monthly payment).

The change is effective with all FHA case numbers issued on or after April 18, 2011.

Please feel free to call or email with your questions or concerns.
