What PMI means? Private mortgage insurance
Private mortgage insurance , also called PMI, is a type of mortgage insurance you might be required to pay for if you have a conventional loan if you put less than 20% down payment.
Like other kinds of mortgage insurance, PMI protects the lender—not you—if you stop making payments on your loan. You can request the PMI to be removed from your conventional loan at 78% loan to value. Unlike FHA and USDA where the PMI is the life of the loan, no matter your down payment.
