Eligible Mortgage Insurers 

The WHEDA Advantage has a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments than most conventional loan products. Special underwriting guidelines and mortgage insurance premiums are available through WHEDA-approved mortgage insurance (MI) providers.

When submitting applications to the MI company, be sure to properly identify the application as a WHEDA loan. This will ensure the MI company uses the correct underwriting guidelines and applies the correct pricing. Coverage requirements are:

HFA Preferred Only:  Loan amounts exceeding 80% LTV; MI Company overlays apply
Total annual qualifying income is ≤ 80% AMI* = Charter Level Coverage Total annual qualifying income is > 80% AMI* = Standard Coverage
  • 95.01 - 97% LTV = 18% coverage
  • 90.01 - 95% LTV = 16% coverage
  • 85.01 - 90% LTV = 12% coverage
  • 80.01 - 85% LTV = 6% coverage
  • 80% LTV and lower = Not required
  • 95.01% - 97.00% = 35% coverage
  • 90.01% - 95.00% = 30% coverage
  • 85.01% - 90.00% = 25% coverage
