| You may have heard the popular idea that a 20% down payment is required in order to buy a home. If you aren’t financially prepared to put 20% down -and most homebuyers are not- you’ve probably been introduced to some of the programs that allow you to pull together a smaller down payment (or even no down payment!) and still end up as a homeowner. Just as important is learning about what comes with those other finance options. That is specifically Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Here are three things to make sure you know about PMI.
Reducing the amount you have to put away for a down payment can make the difference between whether or not you are able to buy a home. Your REALTOR®/agent should be you putting you in contact with the mortgage professionals who can help to fully educate you on the ins and outs of PMI. The monthly payment (principal and interest + escrows) is obviously important, but you need to know your mortgage commitment completely to make a wise decision.
