Yes..It's possible your loan is FHA, and if that's the case.. they charge 1.75% upfront, which can be financed.. and then an annual premium of .85% divided by 12 months to come up with the monthly premium.. Unfortunately, if you don't have 20% down, you have to pay MI.. and the sad thing about FHA, is that the MI is there for the life of the loan... the only way to remove it would be to refinance into a conventional loan, or just pay off your loan..

If you have a FHA Loans you will have these fees.
Yes... I assume this was an FHA loan, VA loan or USDA loan. All of these loans have a "funding fee", also known as "up-front mortgage premium." FHA and USDA loans will also have monthly mortgage insurance. The UFMIP is added to your loan amount, and not an out-of-pocket costs. Unfortunately, it is coming as a surprise today because your Loan Officer didn't tell you about it up-front. It is real and correct, but it shouldn't be a last minute surprise. This is why I tell people your choice of Loan Officer is very important.
