PMI removal to lower your mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the home owneris more than 80% of the actual value of the home, many lenders ask home buyers to buy this added insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Seeing that added payment is usually bundled into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often 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 unfortunate. In fact, the United States Congress invoked a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to eliminate PMI, Campbell and Cress Appraisal Service, LLC will give you a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the home valuation can usually be recovered in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
