FHA Raising Mortgage Costs

Filed Under Blog · Tagged:

fha FHA has just announced they will begin charging 2.25% in up front mortgage insurance (from 1.75% last year and 1.50% the previous year) and require 10% as a down payment for borrowers with poor credit scores.

You have until this Spring of 2010 to save the rate hike. Another reason the time to buy is now.
