FHA Monthly MIP has been decreased! The monthly premium used to be 1.35% and is now only .85%. This is a huge break through after FHA has continued to increase the premiums over the last couple of years to offset their foreclosure debt. Now that they have recouped their costs from the collapse of the real estate market, they are giving the benefits back to today’s home buyers with a lower premium.
