The Federal Housing Administration has announced plans to lower mortgage insurance premiums making it easier for borrowers to take advantage of the current record low interest rates.
Under this program, up-front mortgage insurance premiums will be reduced from 1.75% percent to 0.01 percent of the total loan amount for borrowers with FHA loans made before June 1, 2009. In addition, annual fees will be cut to 0.55 percent from 1.25 percent. This streamlined refinance program is available to borrowers who are current on their payments and may qualify even if they owe more than their homes are worth.
If you closed on your FHA loan before June 1, 2009, call your mortgage banker to learn more about this opportunity!
