Unfortunately no. I should also note that there is monthly mortgage insurance that stays for the life of the life regardless of the loan to value ratio.I have other mortgage options available that could be less costly if you would like to discuss. I am happy to help.

Hi Rosa, Unfortunately not the FHA upfront MIP is there no matter what you put down so it is best to just put the min. down. Also the monthly PMI is on for the life of the loan no matter what. This is the FHA policy. Now we can get a little creative with the Upfront MIP and also you may qualfiy for other products and options just depends on your own situation so call me.

All FHA loans have 1.75% upfront Fee regardless of your loan to value.. also, in just about every scenario, the annual/monthly MI premium is there for the life of the loan.. the only way to remove it would be to pay off your loan or refinance into a different loan product..

Hi, Rosa. I believe the point has been made that FHA has both an up-front MIP and a permanent MIP regardless of down payment / LTV. My question is why are you leaning toward FHA if you may have access to 20%? If your score isn't quite up where it needs to be in order to go with conventional then I may still be able to help you. Give me a shout and we'll see what we can do for you. 781-258-1293. I'm right in Tewksbury and I do work evenings and weekends. Thanks ~ Scott

No, so if you have 20% downpayment and qualify a conventional loan will be a better option. However, FHA is more flexible than conventional loans and still is the only option for some borrowers.

MIP whether upfront or monthly is right now never waived on FHA maybe in the future they might adjust back to the monthly being remove after below 80% LTV..
