Getting rid of your PMI for mortgage paymentsWhen the amount being loaned to the homeowneris more than 80% of the actual value of the property, most lenders ask homebuyers to purchase this supplemental insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the added payment is usually folded into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI isn't required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - dips below the 80% level, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was invoked by the United States Congress requiring lenders to do away with the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to get rid of PMI, TNC Appraisal Service, Inc can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the appraisal can generally be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
