Best Answer

send a written request to the lending institution. In some cases you may have to pay the cost of an appraisal. Ready your closing documents carefully. If you have gained equity through appreciation and this is the basis for removing the MI, then you may need 22 or 26% equity. This is spelled out in your closing documents or you can get the information from your lender.
