CMG MI's Single Premium Plan
Popular MI Plan’s Expanded Guidelines Mean More Opportunities
for your Credit Union and your Member!
Single Premium is a mortgage insurance plan based on a one-time premium charge that can either be paid up-front or financed into the loan amount (so no cash is needed at closing). There’s no ongoing billing and no premium servicing required, so right away Single Premium is the easiest option for your Credit Union and your Member.
Single Premium Has Been Updated to Offer Even More Advantages
Have the Seller Pay for Your Member’s MI Premium!
Effective 2/5/10, CMG MI has expanded our Single Premium guidelines to allow you to utilize Seller concessions to pay for the Member’s MI premium and, in some situations, the closing costs as well. We allow up to 6% on Seller concessions on LTVs up to 95% to help you qualify more Members for a mortgage loan:
