Let Weber Appraisal Service help you get rid of PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the property, nearly all lenders ask homebuyers to purchase an additional insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the additional payment is usually bundled into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. This is damaging because PMI is unnecessary when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% mark. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was implemented by the United States Congress that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments on most mortgages when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

Weber Appraisal Service will give you a statement regarding the value of your home, and the cost of the appraisal can generally be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
