Can I Remove PMI From My Loan?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — costs for homeowners who bought with less than 20% down on a conventional loan. While PMI helps buyers become homeowners sooner, many borrowers don’t realize that it isn’t permanent and can be removed once certain equity requirements are met.
This video explains exactly how PMI works, when it applies, and the three main ways it can be removed from a conventional mortgage. You’ll learn how PMI can be canceled once you reach 20% home equity, when lenders are required to remove it automatically at 22% equity, and how refinancing can eliminate PMI sooner if your home’s value has increased. We also break down what lenders look for when approving PMI removal, including payment history, loan balance, home value, and appraisal requirements.
We also clarify the difference between PMI and FHA mortgage insurance (MIP), why timing matters, and how rising home values can help homeowners reach PMI removal faster than expected. Understanding these rules can lower your monthly payment and save you thousands over the life of your loan.
If you’re a first-time homebuyer paying PMI — or wondering whether you’ve already built enough equity to remove it — this video helps you understand your options clearly and avoid paying PMI longer than necessary.
