PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)

Definition

A type of insurance involved in a mortgage that protects the lender if the borrower defaults on the loan. It is usually required if your down payment is less than 20%.

PMI costs typically range from 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan amount annually. You can request to remove PMI once your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio drops below 80%.
