What are FHA Requirements Concerning Mortgage Insurance?
While the Federal Housing Administration insures loans in order to protect lenders from expensive defaults, mortgage insurance fees supply the capital necessary to provide this protection. Essentially, mortgage insurance premiums allow the FHA to insure loans, thus making mortgages more accessible to potential homebuyers that lenders may consider to be bigger risks.

All borrowers of FHA-insured loans who have not put at least 20% down must pay two forms of mortgage insurance premiums: up-front and annual. Up-front Mortgage Insurance Premiums (UFMIP) include the up-front charges that must be paid to the FHA at the time of closing, though they may instead be inserted into the loan balance. UFMIP costs equal 1.75% of the loan balance. Annual Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) are monthly installments included into a borrower’s monthly mortgage statement. MIP fees fluctuate based on down payment and loan term length.

If you are considering taking out an FHA loan, it is important to shop around to find the absolute best rates for your loan. Due to the large amounts of money in an FHA loan, small adjustments in interest rates can make a significant difference in the total cost of your loan.
