PMI Removal: Private Mortgage Insurance

PMI is required by lenders when down payment requirements are reduced, covering the lender in case of borrower default. Costs vary based on credit score and down payment, ranging from 0.5% to 2% of the mortgage amount. This cost accumulates interest over the 30-year loan term and is not tax-deductible, making it a significant financial burden for borrowers. Unlike piggyback loans, PMI benefits the lender as they secure the money and receive payment if the borrower defaults.
