Kentucky FHA Mortgage Insurance Requirements and Down Payments
FHA mortgage insurance, typically referred to as MIP, is the one closing cost that is unique to FHA mortgage programs.
**Every FHA mortgage must have mortgage insurance regardless
of the amount of the down payment.**
There are two types of mortgage insurance for FHA insured loans – Up-front Mortgage Insurance Premiums and Monthly Mortgage Insurance Premiums.
Up-front Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP)
UFMIP is calculated at 1.75% of the base loan amount on all loans, regardless of the down payment amount. This insurance protects the lender against losses in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan.
**The entire amount of the UFMIP can be financed into the loan amount!**
For example:
- If the FHA loan amount is $100,000 (base loan amount)
- The mortgage insurance premium would be $1,750 ($100,000 x 1.75%)
- The mortgage amount including MIP would be $101,750 ($100,000 + $1,750)
What really happens during an FHA mortgage transaction is that the borrower owes FHA a lump sum mortgage insurance premium. The lender making the FHA loan will actually lend the money for the premium to the borrower and send the money to FHA so that the mortgage will be insured.
Monthly Mortgage Insurance Premium
In addition to the UFMIP, there may be a monthly premium due as well. The monthly premium is .80% of the base loan amount if the loan amount is less than or equal to 95% of the value of the home. If the loan amount is over 95% of the value of the home, the monthly premium is .85% of the base loan amount..
On a 30 year fixed loan, the monthly payment would be calculated as follows:
$100,000 x .80% = $800 / 12 months = $66.67 per month
FHA Minimum Down Payment
Effective January 1, 2009, the minimum down payment required on an FHA loan is 3.5% of the purchase price.
Any deposit (usually called earnest money) that you are required to give to your realtor at the time of an accepted purchase contract will count towards your 3.5% down payment. The appraisal fee collected at the time of inspection will also count towards your 3.5% down payment.
If, for example, you are purchasing a $100,000 house, your minimum down payment required would be $3,500. If your seller/realtor required you to put down $500 in earnest money on top of the $300 for your appraisal, your down payment would be lowered to $2,700 ($3,500 – $500 – $300 = $2,700).
Down Payment As A Gift
If a borrower does not have 3.5% of his or her own money to put down towards the home purchase, FHA allows that amount to be in the form of a gift to the borrower. The gift must be from a qualified source, such as a family member, employer or significant other. The source of the gift must be able to provide proof that they have the money in an account registered in their name prior to transfer to the borrower.
In some areas, this gift may also be grant money from a state or local municipality, if such funds are available.
FHA Student Loan Payment Calculation For 2021
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has updated the payment calculation of monthly obligation for student loans. The change is effective for all case numbers assigned on or after August 16, 2021
Lenders must include all student loans in the Borrower’s liabilities, regardless of the payment type or status of payments.
Required Documentation: If the payment used for the monthly obligation is less than the monthly payment reported on the Borrower’s credit report, the Lender must obtain written documentation of the actual monthly payment, the payment status, and evidence of the outstanding balance and terms from the creditor or student loan servicer. The Lender may exclude the payment from the Borrower’s monthly debt calculation where written documentation from the student loan program, creditor, or student loan servicer indicates that the loan balance has been forgiven, canceled, discharged, or otherwise paid in full.
Calculation of Monthly Obligation: For outstanding Student Loans, regardless of payment status, the Lender must use:
- the payment amount reported on the credit report or the actual documented payment, when the payment amount is above zero; or
- 5 percent of the outstanding loan balance, when the monthly payment reported on the Borrower’s credit report is zero
FHA announces major changes in in Mortgagee Letter 2021-13. We can now calculate your student loan payments based on 0.5% of the balance or take a Income Based Repayment Plan! FHA Updates the rules on Student Loan monthly payments deferred or Income Based Repayment plan… (4) Calculation of Monthly Obligation For outstanding Student Loans, regardless of payment status, the Mortgagee must use: • the payment amount reported on the credit report or the actual documented payment, when the payment amount is above zero; or • 0.5 percent of the outstanding loan balance, when the monthly payment reported on the Borrower’s credit report is zero.
FHA now allowing 0.5% on Student Loans instead of 1%
FHA now allowing 0.5% on Student Loans instead of 1%
On Friday, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced updates to its student loan monthly payment calculations to take steps to remove barriers and provide more access to affordable single-family FHA-insured mortgage financing for creditworthy individuals with student loan debt.
The updated policy more closely aligns FHA student loan debt calculation policies with other housing agencies, helping to streamline and simplify originations for borrowers with student loan debt obligations.
This announcement enhances FHA’s ability to serve one of its core demographics—first-time homebuyers.
For all outstanding student loans, regardless of payment status, the payment must be calculated as follows:
If the payment on the credit report is greater than $0, use
the payment reporting on credit, or
the actual documented payment
If the payment on the credit report is $0, use
0.5% of the outstanding loan balance
If documented that the loan has been forgiven, canceled, or discharged in full, the payment can be excluded.
Lenders may implement the changes immediately but must implement the changes for FHA Case Numbers assigned on or after August 16, 2021.
