Hi! I was told that when you do a loan without PMI, you have to pay higher interest. My loan officer said, the PMI is paid either way pretty much from a cost standpoint and he prefers to have it included so the interest rate is lower.

Basic, not sure what the exact fees are in LA county but it seems like nothing is extremely overpriced so I think your getting a fair deal.
