How can you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

When the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home, most lenders ask homeowners to buy an supplemental insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This extra payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly 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 implemented by the United States Congress requiring lenders to do away with the PMI installments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Jackson Appraisal Services, LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the home valuation can often be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
