No. If you have insurance then you'll have to have it again. If you have determined the equity we can possibly refi to conventional with no mortgage insurance

Fha to fha = mi and mi. You would have to refinance to a conventional to eliminate mortgage insurance or a 15 year term.

Depending on when you closed on your original mortgage you might qualify for a reduced rate of MI vs. what you're paying now. Otherwise your best bet remains to look at a conventional loan if your loan to value ratios are at, below or near 80%. There are also conventional loans with no monthly MI though sometimes at an incrementally higher rate.

You will not remove the MIP on any FHA refinance. You may reduce it depending on when you closed your first loan.

NO.. All FHA loans have MIP.. as well as an upfront MI premium... If you want to get rid of MIP then you should consider refinancing into a conventional loan.. it wont be a streamline so you will have to provide tax returns, w2's and bank statements, as well as pay for an appraisal, but if it can eliminate MI it could be worth it..

Unfortunately the answer is no. To eliminate mortgage insurance you will need to see if it's possible to refinance into a conventional loan. You need to speak with a local loan officer or two and see what your available options are to refinance.
