PMI vs MIP Explained Simply


Confused about PMI vs MIP?

Here’s the simple version:

PMI = Mortgage insurance on Conventional loans (often removable once equity builds).
MIP = Mortgage insurance on FHA loans (includes upfront + monthly components).

Neither is “good” or “bad.” It depends on your credit profile, down payment, and long-term plan.

The right strategy is personal — not one-size-fits-all.

If you’d like help comparing options for buying in Fresno, Clovis, Visalia, Bakersfield, or anywhere in the Central Valley, I’m happy to walk through it.
