Do I need to pay PMI?

I can afford to put down 20% for a new studio apartment in our area. Am I required to pay for PMI in this case? I heard that you usually pay for PMI to protect the lender, is this true? by carroll430 from Garden City, Louisiana. Dec 29th 2021 Reply

It is true, mortgage insurance, or PMI is insurance the buyer/borrower buys to protect the interest of the lender. Typically, lenders require PMI if you have less than 20% equity on a conventional loan. This is typically shown as an 80% LTV or Loan-to-Value). We now have a program that allows qualified borrowers with an LTV up to 90% to avoid PMI payments.
