  • Must have made at least six (6) payments on existing FHA Loan
  • Up to 125% Loan to Value (LTV)
  • Requires upfront and monthly mortgage insurance (MI)
  • Must result in a "Net Tangible Benefit"
    • A 5% reduction to the principal and interest (P&I) of the mortgage payment plus the annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP)
    • Refinancing from an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate mortgage

To refinance a non-FHA loan into a FHA or for a rate & term or cash out FHA refinance, take a look at the FHA Refinance Program.

If you are looking to remove Mortgage Insurance, consider a Conventional Refinance. No MI is required on LTVs below 80%. Additionally, If the LTV on your loan is 80% or higher when your loan closes, your MI can be cancelled once it drops below 80%.
