What is the cost for Mortgage Insurance?
There are usually two fees associated with Mortgage Insurance: the underwriting fee and the premium.

Underwriting Fee: There is no application fee with this product.

Premium
The insurance premium is paid once, at the time of closing, and may be added onto the mortgage or paid separately. The premium rate varies from 1.75% to 6.50% of the mortgage amount depending on the size of your down payment. To calculate the premium, multiply the mortgage amount by the premium rate.
