Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) helps you qualify for a home loan with a smaller down payment by lowering the lender's risk. If your down payment is less than 20%, you'll need PMI, which increases your monthly payment. Unlike FHA mortgage insurance, PMI can be removed before the loan is paid off if certain criteria are met.
