No, you can’t remove MIP from a FHA loan…it runs the life of the loan.

However, if you pay off the loan early (via sale or refinance)enough, you may be entitled to a partial refund of the premuim.

It’s perfectly legal. The borrower agrees to fund the MIP for the life of the loan in a written contract.

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the MIP from FHA loans? We have been told its on for the life of the loan? That doesn’t seem logical and maybe not legal?
