Mortgage insurance for a second home typically refers to private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is required if the down payment is less than 20% of the home's purchase price. This insurance protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. While it is more common for primary residences, many lenders may require PMI for second homes as well, particularly if the financing terms are similar. Borrowers should compare costs and benefits, as PMI can add significant monthly expenses.
