Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance that protects the lender if you default on your loan. It’s typically required when you put down less than 20% on a conventional loan.
Why does it matter?
If you’re putting down less than 20%, PMI helps make homeownership more accessible by allowing you to borrow with a smaller down payment. The good news? Once you reach 20% equity in your home, PMI can usually be removed! 🎉
