Homeowners who have built up equity in their homes often seek ways of reducing monthly mortgage payments. Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, is sometimes required by many lenders, and this insurance can drive up the costs of a home loan. TCO Appraisals, a leading provider of property appraisal services in the San Diego County area of California, knows that to remove PMI from a property loan, homeowners can save money. “The process of removing PMI from a loan can take several steps,” says Todd Ortlieb, president of the appraisal firm. “Many lenders require a new property appraisal as consideration for canceling PMI.” A new appraisal helps homeowners gain leverage in the PMI cancellation negotiation process and shows that the home’s value or equity in the home has increased since the initial loan was made. To learn more about property appraisals for all aspects of the home loan process, visit www.sandiegoresidentialappraiser.com/mortgage-lending Typically, a mortgage lender will agree to cancel a PMI policy once the homeowner reaches 20% equity in the home. In other words, paying down the mortgage to 80% of the home’s original appraised value makes many homeowners eligible for this policy cancellation. If and when the mortgage balance falls to 78% or below, the mortgage servicing company is required by law to eliminate PMI from the loan. In addition to getting a new residential property appraisal, homeowners can also refinance their homes; if the home’s value has increased enough to satisfy requirements, the new mortgage lender may not require a PMI policy. With the low interest rates currently available in the lending market, refinancing can save substantial amounts on a 15- or 30-year home loan. In most cases, refinancing a home can require a current property appraisal, and TCO has many years of experience working with property owners and mortgage lenders alike for new home loans, refinancing of properties, and PMI cancellations.
