First-Time Homebuyers: What Mortgage Insurance REALLY Costs!
What does mortgage insurance actually cost, and do you really need a 20% down payment to buy a house? In this video, we are getting real about the bad reputation of mortgage insurance and breaking down the math. As a licensed mortgage loan officer with two decades of experience, I am sharing real data—not fake numbers. We compare a conventional mortgage vs an FHA loan on a $500,000 purchase price across different credit scores (from 640 to 760) and down payment tiers (5%, 10%, and 15% down). You will learn how your debt-to-income ratio impacts your PMI, why waiting to save 20% might actually cost you more as home prices rise, and exactly how to spot when a lender is putting you in the wrong loan program!
