What is mortgage insurance (MI)?
MI is required for home loans financed through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Most current FHA borrowers paid an upfront premium at closing and continue paying monthly as part of their regular mortgage payment as long as they own their home.
Why may I be eligible to cancel MI?
You may now have sufficient equity in your home to obtain a conventional loan without any mortgage insurance.
