PMI, or private mortgage insurance, is not inherently bad for homeowners. It is typically required for homebuyers who make a down payment of less than 20 on their home purchase. PMI protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. While it adds to the cost of homeownership, it can help individuals qualify for a mortgage and purchase a home sooner.
