Did the PMI requirement lower recently for banks to combat rates?
Hi all!
I heard through the grapevine that mortgage banks are starting to lower the PMI requirement to 10% instead of 20% in order to combat the rising interest rates...? Wondering if there is any validity to this rumor.
I purchased in Boerne, TX with 15% down 4 months ago on a SFH rental prop and would love to see if I can get my PMI removed.
Any information proving/disproving would be great! And if it is true, would love to find out the best way to approach my lender to get this approved.
Thanks everyone!
