MIP or Mortgage Insurance Premium included with FHA and 203k Loan

[Colby Zeller]

Im making this post to see if I can obtain more detail from all my BP experts on MIP when financing with a FHA loan. Ive read up on it a little and it seems FHA and 203k loans require this premium that requires you to pay more at closing, while also adding more to your monthly mortgage. If anyone has any insight on how much this adds to your monthly/ how much extra I need up front that would be a great help !
