How can you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment?

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an extra insurance policy that nearly all lenders ask home owners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. Since the added payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI is no longer required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress requiring lenders to do away with the PMI payments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

If you'd like to eliminate PMI, Neal F. Spangler Appraiser, Inc. can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can usually be regained in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Divorce settlement with less stress

A divorce is an especially traumatic ordeal for the parties involved, and it is often even more complicated by the difficult decision of who maintains the property. Regardless of the situation, it's a good idea to get an appraisal from Neal F. Spangler Appraiser, Inc. so both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their property.

The parties will have a good idea of what price to set, if they want to sell the home. And if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair evaluation.

Accurate and fair estate liquidation

The death of a loved one is a difficult time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often entails an appraisal to establish Market Value for the residential property involved. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

Unlike many wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to take care of these matters. And since a home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, knowing the certain value of the real estate at hand is of significant importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they've received a fair deal.
