DIs lower than conventional PMI in all cases

Explanation

For FHA loans originated after June 2013 with down payments less than 10%, the annual MIP continues for the life of the loan and cannot be cancelled by reaching 20% equity (unlike conventional PMI). For down payments of 10% or more, MIP cancels after 11 years.
