This is often called PMI and costs anywhere from $10.00 to hundreds a month on your house payment, and is REQUIRED on all conventional mortgages for A paper loans (A paper are the loans with the best interest rates) unless the mortgage is less than 80% of the appraised value of the home. It in effect is a policy that pays the bank should you default and allows the bank to give you a loan with a lower down payment. Before private mortgage insurers came along you HAD to save 20% for a down payment. There was just no other way to buy a home. Once you have paid down below 80% or your home appreciates enough to get you to 78% ltv you can ask your lender to drop the insurance.
