This will reduce the amount of “equity” that is used up by rolling this charge into the loan. At the same time, there will be an increase in the monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance) for the 30 year fixed rate that is more in line with conventional MI while lowering the PMI and a 15 year loan by more than half.
