- Loans equal to or less than 90% LTV will pay the annual PMI for 11 years – Purchases over 10% down payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Conventional:<\/strong><\/h3>\nLately, Fannie Mae loans have done a great job of loosening guidelines to help more buyers qualify for homeownership as mentioned in a recent article<\/a>.\u00a0 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac conventional loans have PMI when the LTV is greater than 80% with either primary, second homes, or investment properties.\u00a0 To cancel PMI on a conventional loan, the following\u00a0typically needs\u00a0to be met.\u00a0 Here are some of the details to\u00a0have PMI stop\u00a0as clarified by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in August 2015.<\/p>\n\n- Borrower Requested PMI Cancellation<\/strong>:\u00a0 Once balance is paid to under 80% of the original price, the borrower may request that PMI be cancelled on the cancellation date.\u00a0 The cancellation date\u00a0means\u00a0either the date when the principal balance is first scheduled to reach 80% of the\u00a0original value (lower of purchase price or appraised value)\u00a0for the property or date on which the principal balance reaches 80% of the original value based on actual payments.\u00a0 The borrower may make extra payments to move the cancellation date earlier.\u00a0 There are procedures\u00a0to follow\u00a0which are spelled out below\u00a0 **<\/li>\n
- Automatic PMI Cancellation:<\/strong>\u00a0 Once balance is paid to under 78% of the original price, the lender must cancel the PMI\u00a0on the termination date.\u00a0 The termination date is defined as the date which the principal balance is first scheduled to reach 78% of the original value for the property.\u00a0 Although before cancelling PMI, the loan must be current.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
“Good payment history” means no payments 60 or more days past due within 2 years and no payments 30 or more days past due within 1 year of the later of the cancellation date or the date you submit a request for cancellation.<\/p>\n
** PMI could be cancelled on a conventional mortgage if the following conditions are satisfied: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n- You submit a written request for cancellation<\/li>\n
- Borrower must be current on the loan.\u00a0 For definition of being current, check the CFPB definition here<\/a><\/li>\n
- You are current on the payments required by your loan and<\/li>\n
- if requested and at the borrower’s expense, evidence satisfactory to the note holder that the value of the property has not declined below it’s original value (value at the time of the mortgage initiation), and that there are no subordinate liens on the property<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Keep in mind that each mortgage company has a little different procedures so this is not a guarantee but for the most part, these are correct.\u00a0 Also, on second homes\u00a0or investment properties,\u00a0the PMI may not automatically cancel like a primary residence.\u00a0 Check with the individual lender.<\/p>\n
