Holloway Appraisals, LLC can help you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance policy that many lenders ask home buyers to purchase when the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property. Seeing that extra payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is unfortunate because PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% mark. In fact, the United States Congress passed a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to do away with the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.
