  25. If my loan requires Private Mortgage Insurance, when can I have it removed?
    According to federal regulations governing loans closed after July 28,1999 on single-family homes, you may request that Private Mortgage Insurance be removed if you pay your loan balance down below 80% of the original property value at the time the loan was secured. When your loan balance reaches 78% of the original property value at the time the loan was secured, your PMI will automatically be cancelled. A few exceptions may be made by your mortgage holder, such as if you have been late on your mortgage payments in the past year or you have other mortgages on the property that require PMI. If you feel your home has appreciated so that your loan to value is below 80%, you may order an appraisal at your expense from one of your mortgage holder's approved appraisers and, if the appraisal confirms the loan to value, you may request that PMI be removed. There are no federal regulations governing this type of PMI removal, so it is up to the discretion of the lender to remove PMI in this event.
