How Can I Recieve a discount on a FHA Initial Mortgage Insurance Premium?
Ask your real estate agent or lender for information on the HELP program from the FHA. HELP – Home buyer Education Learning Program – is structured to help people like you begin the home buying process. It covers such topics as budgeting, finding a home, getting a loan, and home maintenance. In most cases, completion of this program may entitle you to a reduction in the initial FHA mortgage insurance premium from 2.25% to 1.75% of the purchase price of your new home.
