954.0. "Dropping FHA premium" by MIMS::BEKELE_D (When indoubt THINK!) Wed Dec 27 1995 22:46

    Any advice on what to include in a letter to my mortgage
    holder (primary residence) to drop the FHA insurance premium?  
    
    I called them today and asked what the requirements were.  
    The rep. says that each mortgage is treated individually 
    and until they receive my letter they cannot tell me what 
    I have to satisfy?  I have had this mortgage with the same
    bank for over five years, choice neighborhood where homes
    sell within weeks even in bad times, paid on time and the 
    value of my house is well over what I owe to the bank.
    
    Thanks in advance!

	Is this the same as PMI on a conventional morgage?  If
	so you may want to check out the following topics in
	the Real_Estate conference:

   135  HEFTY::GUSICJ         5-MAR-1987     1  PMI...when does it stop??
   719  MEMV01::PROVENCAL     1-MAR-1988    54  Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

	Maybe you should just re-finance.  If you've built up enough equity
	to get rid of morgage insurance, then you should certainly qualify
	for refinancing, and rates are LOW ....
