What is private mortgage insurance?
Print Article
Also referred to as PMI, it is insurance you pay to protect the lender in case you default on the home loan. It is required when borrowers put down less than 20 percent of the purchase price.
Usually, a small fee is paid at the outset and a percentage of the face amount of the loan is added to the monthly payment.
