Private Mortgage Insurance

[Eugine]

Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance meant to protect people or companies that hold a mortgage. This type of insurance is often required of lenders who don’t have sufficient equity in their homes, from property value loss, borrowing against present equity, or when first purchasing a home. The exact percentage at which a borrower will demand a homeowner purchase PMI may vary from place to place. Often, if no more than 8% of equity is owned, people can end up paying several hundred more dollars a month to purchase and hold this insurance, and may not get rid of these payments until their equity amount climbs, either through speedy payments or increase in home value.

Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender against loss if the borrower defaults. The good thing about PMI is that it makes it possible for you to purchase a house with as little as a 3-5% down payment, instead of waiting for years to come up with large amounts of money. The catch is, once you have the house, it no longer benefits you. The insurance is basically an additional cost to the borrower for the increased risk held by the lender. It is important to track down your payments and request cancellation of the PMI premiums when the loan-to-value ratio hits 80%.
