[quote=bearishgurl] ….What happened to paying the MMI premium up front?? I haven’t been following FHA developments over the years.[/quote]

bearishgurl, not sure, but I believe that, currently, there is a two-part premium: a substantial amount up front at closing, and a monthly premium payment until equity in home reaches a certain point. Sorry to be so vague: normally I would check it out, but am up to my neck in studying, so will have to leave clarification to the experts. Any takers?
