Stop Paying PMI Insurance!

  • Over 50% of all mortgage loans have mortgage insurance (PMI).

  • A 1998 federal law requires lenders to allow you to drop your PMI once you have 20% equity in your home.

  • To drop your private mortgage insurance you may need an appraisal by a state certified appraiser. Any improvements you have made since purchasing your home will be reflected in the report.
