Mortgage Insurance for Conventional Loans

Borrower-Paid Monthly (BPMI)
BPMI permits the borrower to pay the MI premium monthly, or as a single upfront premium.
BPMI helps lenders offset the risk of a low down-payment mortgage.
Borrowers can qualify for a loan with a smaller down payment, enabling them to purchase a home sooner.

Lender-Paid (LPMI)

In addition to increasing loan volume, LPMI lets you realize additional servicing profits through secondary marketing execution. Benefits include:
