Private mortgage insurance, also known as PMI, is a type of insurance that protects lenders in the event of default on a mortgage. It's typically required for borrowers who put down less than 20% of the purchase price as a down payment.
PMI helps to mitigate the risk for lenders by providing a financial safety net in case the borrower defaults on their loan payments.
When you take out a mortgage, the lender will require you to pay PMI if your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. The cost of PMI varies depending on several factors, including your credit score, loan amount, and loan term.
PMI premiums are usually paid monthly or annually, and they can be rolled into your mortgage payments.
