Ready for it?

Suppose Jane Doe bought a home in 2020 using conventional financing and her down payment was less than 20%….. That means that Jane is paying a monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance) premium.


Additionally, we all know the market value of homes has increased exponentially over the last few years.


Therefore, Jane’s loan to value ratio has been affected in a positive way…. Which means that Jane could possibly get rid of that monthly PMI payment.


Here’s how to ditch the PMI


Take a look at your loan docs … the amount of the payment and the date of which you can request the PMI be removed is somewhere in that sea of papers.


Or call your lender and ask them to explain their process of PMI removal.


Each lender has their own set of rules… some will run their own numbers and some will ask you to provide an appraisal.


Once the process is complete you will see a happy difference in your mortgage payments.


Also, who do you know that purchased a house recently?


Be the light – Spread the good news.
