Let Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC help you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance plan that many lenders ask buyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the homebuyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This extra payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. This is unfortunate because PMI isn't required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI installments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the appraisal can often be regained in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
