Cancelling Mortgage Insurance

FHA Mortgage Insurance Cancellation

If you have a 1-4 family house and your mortgage has FHA mortgage insurance, there are several different scenarios that may apply, so please read all the details below and contact our office for more information.

  • If your loan was originated on or before January 1, 2006, and your property is a condominium, FHA insurance can only be terminated if the mortgage is paid in full before the maturity date.
  • If your loan has a case number assignment date on or after June 3, 2013, FHA insurance can only be terminated if the mortgage is paid in full before the maturity date.
  • If your loan was originated before January 1, 2001, FHA insurance can only be terminated if the mortgage is paid in full before the maturity date.
  • If your loan was originated on or after January 1, 2001 and has a case number assignment date prior to June 3, 2013, you may be able to request cancellation of MIP. Please send a written request to servicing@mccuemortgage.com or to our correspondence address. These requests must be submitted in writing.

Private Mortgage Insurance Cancellation

Here’s some basic information about Private Mortgage Insurance Cancellation (non-FHA insurance). If you are current on your loan payments, mortgage insurance will automatically terminate according to the following terms:

  • the date that the principal balance on your loan is first scheduled to reach 78% of the original value of the property on a 1-unit principal residence or 2nd home.
  • the date that the principal balance on your loan is first scheduled to reach 50% of the original value of the property on investment properties or 2-4 family homes.

The termination does not take into account any principal prepayments you have made on your loan.

Your account must be current and in good standing to cancel your mortgage insurance.

If you have a mortgage on a 1-unit principal residence or 2nd home and private mortgage insurance or PMI (i.e. non-FHA loan), you have the right to request that PMI be canceled on the date the principal balance of your loan reaches 80% of the original value of the property. If you have an investment property or 2-4 family home, you have the right to request that PMI be canceled on the date the principal balance of your loan reaches 70% of the original value of the property.

You must meet all of the following criteria:

  • You must submit a request for cancellation in writing
  • You must not have been 30 days late on your mortgage more than 1 time in the last 12 months
  • You must not have been 60 days late on your mortgage more than 1 time in the last 24 months
  • We must confirm that your property value has not declined based on a new appraisal. The total estimated cost may be up to $750 at your expense and must be ordered by McCue Mortgage. We cannot accept appraisals that you have purchased directly from an appraiser due to federal requirements.
