MGIC MI: Make it an Option
SingleFile (Lender-Paid MI)

MGIC's lender-paid MI program SingleFilesm features discounted premiums. The cost of the single premium is recouped by building it into the loan interest rate or the origination fee. This provides your borrowers with additional tax deductibility because of the increased interest rate or origination fee. The origination fee can also be paid by a third party, such as a builder or a seller.
