From LA Times
The agency is finalizing plans to reduce the initial mortgage insurance premium on certain loans to 0.01% of a home's value from 2%. Homeowners, however, would be able to borrow less and have to pay more per month.
Under the standard loan, the upfront mortgage insurance premium charged by the FHA would remain 2% of the property value (or a maximum of 2% of the FHA maximum loan limit of $625,500), and the principal limit would be cut 1% to 5% of a home's value, depending on the borrower's age.
For both loans, the monthly mortgage insurance premium, which is 0.5% of the mortgage balance for a traditional home-equity conversion mortgage, would increase to 1.25%.
Are these loans typically for the retiring baby bloomers?
