Frequently Asked Questions

What is FHA mortgage insurance premium (MIP)?

FHA MIP consists of two parts: an upfront premium of 1.75% of the loan amount (usually financed into the loan) and an annual premium of 0.55% paid monthly. Unlike conventional PMI, FHA MIP typically lasts the life of the loan for loans with less than 10% down.

What are the 2026 FHA loan limits?

For 2026, FHA loan limits range from $541,287 (floor) to $1,249,125 (ceiling) for single-family homes. The exact limit depends on your county. High-cost areas like San Francisco and New York have limits at the ceiling, while most areas are at or near the floor.

How much is FHA MIP in 2026?

In 2026, FHA MIP is 1.75% upfront (financed into the loan) plus 0.55% annually for most loans. On a $300,000 loan, that is $5,250 upfront and approximately $138 per month in ongoing MIP.

What credit score do I need for an FHA loan?

FHA loans require a minimum credit score of 580 for the 3.5% down payment program. Borrowers with scores between 500-579 may qualify with 10% down. Most lenders prefer 620+ for better rates and easier approval.

Can I remove MIP from my FHA loan?

For FHA loans originated after June 2013 with less than 10% down, MIP lasts the life of the loan. To remove it, you would need to refinance into a conventional loan once you have 20% equity. Loans with 10%+ down have MIP for 11 years.
