New BiggerPockets member, 1st time home buyer, and 1st post! Recently got approved for a FHA 203k loan - yay 😃

My interest came back 3% but my APR came back 4% what is that about?

Am I ultimately paying 4%? Is this bad or good?

Replied

The APR adds in all the fees, PMI (.85%/year) and such and calculates/show the total cost of the loan.
