How is premium charged?
When you sign up for an insurance policy, your insurer will charge you a premium. This is the amount you pay for the policy. Some insurers allow the policyholder to pay the insurance premium in installments—monthly or semi-annually—while others may require an upfront payment in full before any coverage starts.
What is the MIP?
Mortgage insurance premium (MIP) is paid by homeowners who take out loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). FHA-backed lenders use MIPs to protect themselves against higher-risk borrowers who are more likely to default on loans. FHA mortgages require every borrower to have mortgage insurance.
How is MI Finance calculated?
Divide the loan amount by the property value. Then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. If the result is 80% or lower, your PMI is 0%, which means you don’t have to pay PMI.
