What is the upfront MIP cost?

It can be as high as 3% of the purchase price. However over the term of the loan of 30 years its a huge savings

The information below is wrong, Upfront MIP refers to FHA loans and is 1.75% in all cases unless you are refinancing a current FHA loan and a credit can be applied depending on when the current loan was originated. Justin Murray, JMurray@WintrustMortgage.com (312) 256-4065

FHA charges 1.75% of your loan amount.. and it can be financed.. You can also use conventional financing and pay an upfront premium as well, however it's not advisable.. There are many different loan scenarios each with a different type of MI premium.. It's best to sit down with a local mortgage pro and let them look at your complete scenario and explain all your options.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Depends on the loan type.Conventional = 0FHA = 1.75%USDA = 2.75%VA (funding fee) - varies.

Joe is correct, it depends on the type of mortgage (FHA, USDA, VA or conventional). With conventional there are a variety of alternatives that can affect the monthly PMI cost - if the specific lender offers those options. Really need more details to know how to answer.
