Do I need to pay for PMI?
I started a new business last year and the income is good. I plan to buy a new home using an FHA loan but I am not familiar with the guidelines. Does the home need to be owner occupied? How much down payment should I prepare? Do I need to pay for PMI? by frederic34 from Aliso Viejo, California. Mar 25th 2022

FHA loans are owner occupied only. All FHA loans have mortgage insurance, regardless of the down payment size. Lenders will usually look at putting you into a conventional loan first, then FHA if needed. Conventional starts at 3% down, and FHA at 3.50%. Contact a local mortgage broker for more information. I lend in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Find me at JoeMetzler.com - Cambria Mortgage, NMLS 274132
