Pay Down Mortgage to Remove PMI and Pay Down Loan?
BP!
I purchased a 1bed 1 bath condo in NYC for 260k with a 15k sellers concession for the down payment. 275k in total.
I put 10% down 27k
I did a full renovation for about 28k.
I closed this past February and live in the property.
HOA is $267 and includes the usual, water, outside maintenance, pool, tennis court, basketball court, snow removal , and storage.
My current total payment is $1925, including taxes, HOA, and $199 for PMI.
My question is, should I pay down my mortgage to reach the 80% LTV so I can remove my PMI and pay down my mortgage? The cost to pay down the mortgage to reach 80% is $17000. Or should I invest the money in another property?
