An annual 0.25% Mortgage Insurance Premium is paid to FHA as part of the monthly mortgage payment requirements.  Additional fees will be required for third party appraisals, environmental reports and project capital needs assessments (PCNA).  The costs of these reports can be paid from existing reserve for replacement funds subject to HUD approval.
