And sorry, couldn’t figure out how to edit headline on my phone, so that’s why it’s a little squirrelly...fat fingers and hit post too soon. 

We're not fat-cat real estate moguls. 

While it's true the margins aren't quite as fat as they have been in the past, that doesn't mean they aren't still good, and I have yet to learn of another market that will beat it.  

Do this along with a big fat GL insurance policy and umbrella on top of everything. 

In a pinch I've got it to turn with a fat Phillips. 

There's a reason that Section 8 pays landlords directly; how much of that money would actually make it to the landlord if they just handed the tenant a fat check every month? 

“I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar’s child ... to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat."

I was just glad I didn't look as fat as usual! 

Something tells me the answer to all of this is a big fat NOPE, but hey, you never know, any thoughts are welcome, thanks gang!

Your options are basically...Pay it monthly until you have 20% equity, which is what most people do.Pay a big fat premium upfront, basically paying for the insurance policy all at once.Lender paid PMI with a bumped rate (you see this advertised as "no PMI").So, yes, you can get a "no PMI" 95% LTV mortgage, but not a no PMI 95% LTV mortgage.
