Louisville KY Kentucky FHA Streamline Refinance

 Kentucky FHA Streamline Refinance


Kentucky Streamline refinances are designed to lower the monthly principal and interest payments on a current FHA-insured mortgage. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the U.S. FHA mortgage insurance provides lenders with protection against loss as the result of homeowners defaulting on their mortgage loans.


FHA requires both a Monthly MIP and Up Front MIP. Information on the latest MIP factors can be found at the following link:
