MIP is an acronym for what?

MIP stands for the cost of mortgage insurance tied to FHA loans. It’s called Mortgage Insurance Premiums because the insurance charge can come in more than one component over the life of the loan—an upfront premium paid at closing and ongoing annual premiums. That plural form best describes the total cost you’re paying to insure the loan against default. The other options don’t fit because they imply a single premium, a payment, or a policy, none of which capture the typical FHA MIP structure. (Note: conventional loans use PMI, not MIP.)
