Fha Announces Risk Based Premiums

FHA Announces Risk Based Premiums

This update announces the guidelines for FHA's Risk Based Premium model. For the first time in history, FHA will take credit scores into account. These guidelines are effective as of July 14th, 2008. At the bottom of the page is a link to the full update.

The 10 primary guideline changes are as follows:

1. Borrowers need either no score, or at least 500, to get a LTV >90%; see matrix below.

2. Borrowers with a score less than 500 get a maximum LTV of 90%.

3. Borrowers without scores will require manual underwriting.

4. Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premiums will range from 1.25% - 2.25%, based on score.

5. The Monthly Mortgage Insurance will range from .50% to .55% depending on score.

6. The premium is based on the borrower with the lowest score.

7. If one of the borrowers has no score, then the Non-Traditional credit grade is used.

8. Credit rescoring is allowed to improve a borrower's credit grade.

9. All FHA Secure refinances >95% LTV with delinquencies have a 2.25% UFMIP and .55% MMI.

10. Cash-out, rate & term, and non-delinquent FHA Secure refinances are included in this change.

Is it really worth putting premium grade petrol (98 ron+) in a high performance car? ie BMW M3, would it hurt?

would it hurt it in anyway to put regular unleaded in?

/ There are some real goofy answers here, and obviously by people who have never driven a high performance car like an M3...

Yes, you need high octane gasoline, and one of the best answerers suggested Shell V-Power (USA name) or Shell Velocity as it is called in some other countries. Since you called it 'petrol' I know you aren't in America.

High compression ratio engines require premium fuel.

Anything less, and you are paying for it in other ways (including kpg or mpg).
