LMI is insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on their mortgage payments. This insurance does not cover the borrowers and ranges from 1 upto 4 percent of the purchase price. It is typically paid at settlement as one time fee when borrower has less than 20% deposit however most lenders today capitalise this fee to the loan to minimise upfront purchasing costs.
