LPMI vs FHA
​Of course it’s important to pay attention to your mortgage interest rate. But it’s even more important to look at the bottom line—your monthly mortgage payment. A Conventional LPMI Loan could save you significantly each month by reducing your monthly costs for mortgage insurance. The amount saved will vary depending on the amount of the loan, LTV (loan-to-value), FICO score, and the amount of MI coverage needed. Here’s an example:
30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage: $200,000 Purchase Price
Monthly mortgage payment savings: $1,219.00 - $1,184.64 = $34.36
TOTAL SAVINGS over 30 years: $34.36 X 360 months = $12,369.60

SAMPLE LOAN SCENARIOS
​
-
FHA Loan: LTV: 96.5%; MI: 0.85%; loan amount: $193,000 base + 1.75% upfront MI $3,377.50 = $196,377.50 gross; 3.5% down payment: $7,000; FICO: 720.
-
Conventional Loan: LTV: 97%; loan amount: $194,000; 3% down payment: $6,000; 35% coverage; FICO: 720.
​
And yes, the example above is only 3% down. So if you put more down, the rate will lower… a lot. 5% down would likely lower the rate near 4% and 7% down would be closer to 3.75% as compared to the rates quoted above with the similar fees.
