MGIC MI: Make it an Option
Monthly Premiums

This is the most common premium plan. The MI is collected monthly with the borrowers’ mortgage payment. With Monthly, one month’s premium is due at closing, whereas with ZOMP! – no premium is due at closing, rather the premium is paid the month the first payment is due.

With Mortgage Insurance you can:

  • Increase commission by getting paid on 1 higher loan amount
  • Simplify processes with 1 loan – 1 set of guidelines and 1 set of docs
  • Receive improved underwriting decisions
  • Offer borrowers 1 low monthly payment
  • Provide borrowers a one-loan tax-deductible solution
  • Lower borrowers’ monthly payment in the future when MI is canceled
  • Save borrowers money at closing by eliminating costs associated with a second mortgage

Which borrowers should consider Monthly/ZOMP! as an option?

  • ZOMP! is an excellent choice for those looking to minimize closing costs.
  • The Monthly/ZOMP! premium is 100% tax deductible for qualifying borrowers.
  • Borrowers who anticipate owning their home more than five years, making major home improvements or quickly paying down their mortgage balance should consider this plan.
