In Brief: Amerin's New Offering Waives Initial Premiums

Payments begin after the mortgage closes, not at the closing, as most mortgage insurance policies require.

Amerin said its insurance also allows borrowers to save money over the life of the policy since its premiums are about five basis points lower than comparable products.
