Hey, Looking to start a good discussion for new investors.

Because the original value of your closed loan was based on renovations being done, there is no additional value to use for the removal of the PMI.Maybe consider refi to another lender who will order another AVM or appraisal to get you a more desirable LTV. 

I would be happy to help you look at your deal and anything else related if you like.
