PMI Removal for mortgage paymentsWhen the amount being loaned to the homeowneris more than 80% of the actual value of the property, almost all lenders ask home owners to purchase this added insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Most often, this extra payment is bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI becomes unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% mark, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress that requires lenders to dismiss the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to do away with PMI, Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the home valuation can often be offset in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
