DID YOU KNOW?
Millions
of U.S. homeowners are sending their mortgage lenders $80 to $150
more than they should each month by paying for unnecessary private
mortgage insurance (PMI). Are you?
WHAT
IS PMI?
If
you purchased you home with a conventional mortgage (not FHA or
VA, these do not use PMI) and put less than 20% down, you were probably
required to pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). It is intended
to protect the lender if the homeowner defaults on the loan. This
does NOT protect you as the homeowner, and it may be costing you
over $1,000 a year in unnecessary payments!
HOW
DO I REMOVE PMI?
Requirements
vary by lender, but the common process includes:
•
The property must be owner occupied 100% of the time
• You must have a loan balance below 80% of your property
value
• You must have paid a minimum of 12 to 24 consecutive monthly
payments
• A good payment history
• And a new appraisal
If
you think that you qualify for PMI Removal, contact you lender to
find out what their specific requirements are. Then order an appraisal
to determine the value of your property. Call us at (651) 765-0582
to order your appraisal or ask us further questions.
HOW
MUCH WILL IT COST?
Our
appraisal fee for PMI removal is less than $300. This will soon
pay for itself if a $80-$150+ a month PMI payment can be eliminated.
So unless you plan on moving within the next 6 months, what do you
have to lose? Call TODAY!
