PMI doesn’t always have to stay for the life of your mortgage.
If you have PMI on a conventional loan, building equity could eventually give you options to remove it. That may happen through regular mortgage payments, paying additional principal, or refinancing if your home’s value and loan scenario make it worthwhile.
The exact requirements depend on your loan, payment history, servicer, and current equity position, so reaching 20% equity doesn’t necessarily mean PMI disappears automatically.
