Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an extra insurance plan that many lenders ask home owners to buy when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This added payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is unfortunate because PMI is no longer required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to do away with the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.
