What is Private Mortgage Insurance?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a type of mortgage insurance that is required on to some home loans as a safety measure for a lender. It’s an additional fee that is added on to a borrower’s monthly mortgage payment. Lenders will typically require PMI if a borrower’s loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is higher than 80%, meaning they have less than 20% of equity in their home. Once you have accumulated more home equity, you may be able to refinance and eliminate the requirement for PMI.
