Private MI Advantages vs FHA
Private MI companies want market share increase
while FHA wants to pull back
Mortgage insurance cost is less
Flexibility in premium options and structure
Lower or comparable monthly payment
Increase in equity, not the loan amount
Opportunity for MI cancellation earlier (as little as 2
years vs 5 for FHA)
Private MI vs FHA (cont’d)
FHA offers few options for payment of premium
With FHA, credit scores do not impact pricing, only
loan-to-value
Private MI has many different options as ‘one size does
not fit all’
Consumers should ask lenders questions as to options
available and best fit for them
