Can you remove private mortgage insurance without a refinance? I only owe $132k but my value has risen to $295k. I bought in 2019. Should I get an appraisal done to determine real value? by seansantos310 from Atlantic Beach, Florida. Oct 21st 2022
yes you should be able to remove the mtg ins IF the present loan is NOT a FHA loan . Contact the present lender / servicer and ask them want the steps are to do this . IF you have a FHA loan - there is likely no way to remove the mtg ins ...but contact the lender/ servicer to ask about options anyways
Yes if it is a conventional loan, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. You will need to do an appraisal to show you have at least 20% in equity. If it is an FHA, or USDA loan you will have to refinance. Keep in mind if it is an FHA loan the monthly MI has dropped from .85 /.80 to .55 / .50. Rates should be Mid to upper 5's. I lend in CA, FL, IL, GA, NC, SC, & TN for residential loans. We can go down to 500 scores for VA & FHA. Barclay Butler. NMLS 225269.www.barclaybutlerfinancial.com
