  • RURAL HOUSING MORTGAGE INSURANCE

     

    The USDA charges two fees .

     

    When you close, you are charged 2.75% of the starting loan amount.  This fee can be rolled into your starting loan balance.  The calculator at right is Rural Housing specific, and will illustrate how this  works.

     

    USDA also charges a monthly premium, which is paid over the term of the loan.  Every year, the premium is re assessed downward, based on the remaining principal balance.
