How can I avoid PMI?

One way to avoid paying PMI is to make a down payment that is equal to at least one-fifth of the purchase price of the home; in mortgage-speak, the mortgage’s loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is 80%. If your new home costs $180,000, for example, you would need to put down at least $36,000 to avoid paying PMI.

Is it worth claiming on home insurance?

Home insurance claims may indeed end up increasing your premiums, but it’s not possible to know in advance what your next quote will be. Generally, minor incidents, such as lost or damaged possessions, are less likely to lead to a jump in your premiums than a burglary or damage to the building’s structure. Nov 30, 2020
