Kyle, there are some truths to that statement. On a Conventional Loan, when there is less than 20% equity, the requirement is that there must be mortgage insurance on the property. Having said that, we are a Texas-based mortgage bank that offers Lender-Paid Mortgage Insurance. This way, you are not paying any monthly premiums. Send me a message and we can go into more detail on it.

You can do what is called a lender paid MI. The rate is slightly higher which covers the cost of the MI upfront. Any loan to value over 80% that is sold to fannie mae or freddie mac has to have PMI. It is cheaper to do the lender MI than monthly too! Call me at 214-636-3363 Mana Mabry Graham I work for Nortex Mortgage in Plano Texas. Thanks!

Stop worrying about paying MI.. With 15% down and good credit, the MI premium is less than $20 per month for every $100K financed.. and after 2 years, you can request the lender remove the MI.. so long as your property has appreciated more than 5% in that 2 year period, you should have no problem.. You will have to pay for an appraisal which usually runs about $450, and so long as the value is there, then the MI will be removed.. The only way to avoid paying MI is to put 20% or more down, or if you have VA benefits available to you, you can use VA financing and you will not be required to pay MI..

Kyle: while you may be able to find a lender that can do a no MI program for you, in the long term it may be detrimental to you. No MI programs generally have higher interest rates (LPMI costs are built into the rate on your loan.) If you have traditional, borrower paid MI on a conventional loan, once you get down to 80% loan to value, you can ask to have the borrower paid MI removed. If you have Lender Paid MI, the rate will stay the same regardless of your loan to value. Please consider that when making your decision.You may also take a second mortgage for 5% of your purchase price, but that would increase the cost of your first mortgage (which would be built into the rate) but would help you avoid MI. If you have further questions, or would like to discuss numbers, feel free to call me at 281-841-1723. Rich

Yes, and no. Anytime you don't put at least 20% down, you have to deal with mortgage insurance somehow. How you pay for it can vary. You can do standard monthly mortgage insurance. You can pay a lump sum up-front at closing. You can pay it with a slightly higher interest rate, or you can try getting two loans. I can give you a loan that doesn't show PMI anywhere, but DO NOT let anyone fool you. If you don't put 20% down, you are paying for it somehow.
