How can you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance policy that many lenders ask home owners to buy when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This additional payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI isn't necessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress requiring lenders to remove the PMI payments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

Mainord Appraisal Firm LLC will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can generally be offset in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
