PMI removal to lower your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance plan that almost all lenders ask home buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the homebuyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. Oftentimes, this extra payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. PMI becomes unnecessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% level, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. DANIEL I KANDEL can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the home valuation can often be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
