If the original principal obligation with a loan-to-value (LTV) is greater or than 90%, than the annual MIP is for the life of the loan. If the original principal obligation with an LTV less than or equal to 90%, the annual MIP is for 11 years or when the loan is paid off, whichever comes first.

It depends on some of the details of the loan, term and original downpayment. Normally a good mortgage lender will help you find the best option for you when you buy the home. Sometimes there are no other good options, but if you qualify for a conventional loan that may be a better option.

That depends. If your loan was initiated prior to June 2013, then your MI can cancel once you have paid your principal down to 78% of the original appraised value and once 5 years has passed.. if your loan was initiated after June 2013, then most likely it's there for the life of the loan. The only way to remove it would be to refinance out of it or pay off the loan. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
