FHA STREAMLINE MORTGAGE INSURANCE CHANGES:
FHA has also announced a dramatic lowering of the mortgage insurance premiums for FHA STREAMLINE LOANS. An FHA streamline loan is a current FHA customer refinancing their loan to another FHA loan with the same term. Because FHA raised their Mortgage insurance premiums in April of 2010, many customers could not streamline their loans as there was not enough benefit.
These new Mortgage insurance premiums will only be in effect for borrowers who had their FHA case number pulled before June 1st of 2009.
ALL FHA STREAMLINES LOANS – original case number pulled before June of 2009
UPFRONT MI .01%
ANNUAL MI: 55 bps
This is a huge change and will dramatically help customers in existing FHA loans lower their rate and payment.
These changes will better the existing FHA MI factors by over $45 per $100,000, and upfront fees by $990 per $100,000.
