- Decrease to Up Front MIP: Up Front MIP = 0.01 of the base loan amount.
- Decrease to Annual MIP: Annual MIP = 55 bps, regardless of loan amount.
Submit Early and Carrington Mortgage Services Will:
- Confirm that the loan is eligible via the Query Screen on FHA Connections. MSI will advise you if the loan is not eligible.
- Underwrite the loan and hold it in queue to submit for an FHA case number on 6/11/12.
- Receive the case number from FHA, and expedite the closing/funding of the loan.
We will make every effort to facilitate a June closing for these early submissions; however, we are subject to the limitations of the FHA Connections’ ability to provide FHA Case Numbers.
- If the receipt of the FHA case numbers is delayed, CMS will strive for a July closing; however, CMS will then require an updated Payoff Letter from the Servicer.
