Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

Private mortgage insurance is designed to mitigate a lender’s risk on a loan. Borrowers with lower credit scores, lower down payments, and other potentially problematic issues with their loan could be required to purchase and pay PMI on their property until a certain equity threshold or payment history is established.
