Private
Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required on all loans with less
than a 20% down payment. This insurance protects lenders
against some or most of the losses that result from defaults
on home mortgages. The monthly PMI premiums are added to your
monthly mortgage payment. These premiums are based on the Loan-to-Value
(LTV) of the loan. Below are comparisons of premiums for 15
and 30-year mortgages based on purchase prices of $150,000
and $200,000.
