What affects FHA mortgage rates?

Short answer

Credit score, loan amount, LTV, property type, occupancy, lock period, points or lender credits, and market conditions on the day of pricing. MIP assumptions feed into APR.

Plain-English explanation

What this actually means.

FHA pricing follows the Ginnie Mae market. Even small changes in any of those inputs can shift the rate or the cost to lock it.

What can change the answer?

Where this can move.

Credit score, loan amount, LTV, points, lender credits, lock timing, and market movement can change the rate quoted.
