FHA loan Costs/Fees

This loan has 2 types of fees:

Out of pocket – Paid before the loan closes

Appraisal fee – paid directly to the appraiser. This fee will range between $500-750 depending on the property type and location. You will know what this cost is well before incurring the charge.

Fees rolled into the loan

Up front mortgage insurance premium (UPMIP). This is generally 1.75% of the loan amount and is rolled into your loan. In other words, you do not come out of pocket for this fee. This is required on ALL FHA loans and is paid directly to the federal government.
