What is pmi insurance?
PMI is a type of mortgage insurance that insures the bank for repayment of the home mortgage. Banks generally make you pay for PMI insurance if you are within 80% of the appraised value of the home financed. For example if you have a home that is appraised at $200,000 and the balance on the mortgage is $160,000 or more then the bank will require you to carry PMI insurance. PMI insurance only covers the bank but the homeowner is the one who has to pay the premium.
