There are some possible bumps, but there's a good little summary at: http://www.mortgagesfinancingandcredit.org/mortgages/private-mortgage-insurance/pmi-cancellation-termination1.htm


How do you get a deposit for a house when you have a mortgage with the same bank?

I infer from the wording of your question that you wish to borrow the money for the down payment on a house other than your primary residence. This is a big no-no.

In NJ can you be on the deed but not on the mortgage?

Yes, it's possible to be a grantee on the deed and not listed on the mortgage. All owners of the property are supposed to sign and be listed on the mortgage, but this doesn't always happen. During the refinance frenzy a few years ago, some lenders gave out mortgages to only one owner. If that is the case and there is a default on the mortgage, the lender can only foreclose on the interest of the person who actually signed the mortgage. See related question link.
