PMI removal to reduce your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance plan that many lenders ask home owners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Since the added payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is unfavorable because PMI is unnecessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was invoked by the United States Congress that requires lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.
