In some cases this is governed by state law, in other cases by the rules of the lender themselves. You would have to discuss this with your lender. In general, it would usually be better to do it through them. Certainly easier!

What is mortgage insurance?

Private Mortgage Insurance is a policy that covers the mortgage company in the event the home buyer defaults on the mortgage note. It is commonly referred to as "MI" and is usually obtained through the mortgage company. Mortgage Insurance does not cover the real property but rather the Mortgage Note. It comes under the category of Contract Performance Insurance and is in the Property and Casualty line. The term "private mortgage insurance" differentiates it from government insurance. Loan products such as FHA, VA and USDA Rural Housing loans also carry insurance but it is from the government and is built into the cost of the loan, rather than being purchased seperately.Answer:It is insurance that the lender forces you to buy if you do not have enough equity in the property (usually 20%). The insurance only protects the lender in the event the borrower defaults and the foreclosure sale does not bring enough to pay off the loan.
