Lender-Paid Mortgage Insurance
Beneficial to Lenders, Tax Savings for Borrowers
It's simple. The lender pays the MI premium and charges a slightly higher interest rate.
For many homebuyers, Lender-Paid Mortgage Insurance (LPMI) offers significant advantages over the more traditional borrower-paid MI or even
other loan options.
- No monthly MI premium
- No MI closing costs
- Lower monthly mortgage payment (in most cases, compared to mortgage payment plus
traditional MI premium)
- Potential for qualifying for a larger loan
- Significant savings over the life of the loan
Lenders also benefit in several important ways.
- Secondary marketing execution
- Excess servicing profits
- Monthly or single-premium payment options
