19th Nov 2009 by Burt Carlson. PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. This is insurance that a mortgage lender gets to insure itself in part from a loss on a loan. MIP is Mortgage Insurance Premium and is the cost of the insurance. On an FHA home loan the borrower is required to pay an up front payment based on a certain percentage of the loan amount. This is called the Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) and is included in the costs of an FHA loan. FHA also requires that a borrower pay a certain percentage of the loan amount monthly toward mortgage insurance.
