| Jan. 20, 2015 United Guaranty vs. FHA—There’s Still a Clear Choice. There's been a lot of chatter recently surrounding FHA's rate cut announcement. United Guaranty is very supportive of FHA's role in extending credit to underserved markets. However, as some of the initial excitement about the announcement dies down, we wanted to take a moment to let you know that United Guaranty is here to help ensure you get the right kind of mortgage insurance for your borrowers. First, even with the recent rate cut, United Guaranty's mortgage insurance premiums for most products and borrowers remain more attractive than FHA's. And with our Performance Premium® risk-based pricing, you can be sure you're getting the appropriate rate for each loan's individual risk profile. Additionally, with United Guaranty, you don't need to worry about locking your borrower into MIP for the life of the loan. Borrower-paid mortgage insurance from United Guaranty is required to be cancelled automatically when the loan's LTV reaches 78 percent—something borrowers have told us is very important to them. |
