Private Mortgage Insurance Definition |
|
private mortgage insurance (PMI) definition – Private mortgage insurance is insurance that protects a lender in the event that a homeowner defaults on a loan. Most lenders require a 20 percent down payment. Private Mortgage Insurance allows those who are unable to pay 20 percent to take out a mortgage by insuring the lender against the risks of foreclosure. The lender pays private mortgage insurance, but buyers who cannot pay 20 percent equity have to pay a higher interest rate to cover the insurance. |
