I don't think I've ever seen Fallon's show. But I've liked a lot of the "Hey watch this!" videos from his show that people post various places - usually him doing songs of some sort. Like Johnnie, I've been impressed by his talent, because he never seemed that good on SNL. He basically got...

Looks like FHA loans do have mortgage insurance, but they call it MIP instead of PMI. And it can actually cost you more.

From what I remember of my FHA loan, there was no PMI.
Of course, I meant mortgage of more than 80%, not 20%.
