Smart PMI / PMI Buster

Smart PMI Buster is our most popular way to lower your private mortgage insurance (PMI) payment. By paying a portion of your PMI upfront, you can significantly lower your monthly PMI for as long as you decide to keep your loan. Just like how some people lower their mortgage rate with points, you can do the same with your PMI!

Here’s How Smart PMI Works:

• • Pay 1% of your loan amount upfront to reduce your monthly PMI payment.

  • Enjoy a lower mortgage payment over the life of your loan.

  • Buy down your rate? Why not buy down your mortgage insurance?

  • You can cancel PMI completely when your loan reaches 78% loan-to-value.

  • Smart PMI is available on most of our conventional loans and is our most popular PMI feature.

Are you going to stay in your home forever? If you’re ready to lock in to today’s low mortgage rates on your dream home, PMI Buster could be right for you. The PMI Buster can completely eliminate your monthly PMI payment so you never have to worry about it.

Here’s How PMI Buster Works:

• • Get a slightly higher rate and you’ll never pay a monthly mortgage insurance payment.

  • We’ll pay your PMI to the mortgage insurance company so you never have to worry about it.

  • Because of the way the mortgage insurance is paid, you’ll maximize your tax deduction*

  • PMI Buster is available on most of our conventional loans.

If you have less than a 20% to put toward your home purchase, or less than 20% equity when refinancing, traditionally you have to pay private mortgage insurance on top of your normal monthly payment. 

Not everyone has a 20% down payment, so paying PMI is common. Even FHA loans require mortgage insurance. If your mortgage requires PMI, you’ll pay PMI until you refinance or until your Loan-to-Value in your property is 78%.

BankerBroker.com provides options to significantly reduce or eliminate your PMI. If your goal is to get the lowest payment possible, our Smart PMI or PMI Buster options could be right for you.
