What is a good PMI rate?
Private mortgage interest (PMI) is required when the down payment on a house is under 20% of the selling price. As of 2020, the rate varies between 0.5% and 1.5% of the loan.
Can PMI be waived?
If you weren’t able to put down 20% when you purchased the property, you can have PMI waived once you’ve built up enough equity over time. But your lender isn’t going to automatically cancel your PMI premium once you’ve reached 80% LTV. You’ll have to reach out and request it. Jun 29, 2021
