Multifamily MIPs Cut to 0.25%
HUD proposes to reduce mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) to 0.25% for all Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Multifamily Insurance Programs. The proposal references the January 20, 2025 presidential memorandum directing price relief and would replace prior MIP rates with this single 0.25% rate.
2016 Multifamily MIP Categories Eliminated
HUD proposes to eliminate the 2016 MIP rate categories—Green and Energy Efficient Housing, Affordable Housing, and Broadly Affordable Housing—that were established by the March 31, 2016 notice. HUD says those categories are misaligned with the January 20, 2025 presidential memorandum and would become economically obsolete.
