conventional loan pmi what are you
[40]
talking about pmi stands for
[43]
private mortgage insurance okay now
[45]
we're here insurance we're thinking oh
[47]
what does it cover
[48]
so what does private mortgage insurance
[49]
cover well
[51]
not you for me it's for the bank
[55]
in case we can't pay back the cost of
[58]
pmi is going to vary
[59]
a lot will depend on your credit score
[61]
and your down payment
[62]
however you seem to like the half
[64]
percent percent and a half range
[70]
oftentimes
[78]
so a lot of people are like hey is there
[80]
a way for me to put down
[81]
less than 20 when it's typically
[84]
required that i have to pay pmi
[86]
and still not have to pay pmi
[89]
that's why we're here today before we
[91]
get into these five different ways to
[93]
get out of pmi without putting out 20
[96]
you might have questions about the fha
[99]
loans and their mortgage insurance
[100]
premiums mit
[102]
similar concept pretty much but the way
[105]
it operates is a little bit different
[107]
than emi
[108]
and there's some different stipulations
[109]
around it so if you have
[111]
questions or interested in the video on
[112]
that drop it in the comments below
[114]
i'd be happy to cover it first way we
[117]
can avoid private mortgage insurance
[118]
with less than 20 percent down
[121]
is lender paid mortgage insurance
[124]
it is what it's called so the lender's
[125]
gonna pay your mortgage insurance on
[127]
your behalf
[128]
however this usually a trade-off so
[130]
typically they charge you a higher
[132]
interest rate
[132]
you definitely want to check the numbers
[134]
to see what makes most sense for you
[136]
number two the piggy back loan
[140]
piggy piggyback i know second mortgage
[143]
that's what we're talking about
[144]
so you know how typically you have one
[147]
mortgage and your down payment
[148]
and that covers your purchase well in
[150]
this instance it's going to be
[152]
the first mortgage let's say 80 that
[155]
you're borrowing
[156]
a second moment for ten percent that
[158]
you're also borrowing
[159]
and then the ten percent down payment
[161]
that you're providing
[162]
now between your down payment and your
[165]
second mortgage
[166]
you have twenty percent down so in that
[168]
case you've avoided
[169]
mortgage insurance however trade-offs
[174]
so with the second mortgage now you're
[176]
looking at two
[177]
sets of closing costs because you are
[180]
closing on two different loans
[181]
and also a higher interest rate most
[183]
likely on that second mortgage that
[185]
you're going to have
[186]
so definitely just like we want to run
[188]
the numbers when it's underpaid mortgage
[190]
insurance we want to run run around the
[192]
numbers
[193]
if we're talking about doing a second
[194]
mortgage versus paying for mortgage
[196]
insurance
[197]
want to see what works best for you
[198]
third option
[200]
low down payment programs with no pmi so
[203]
a lot of banks are offering these
[205]
a lot of times on a rotating basis
[207]
saying that they have these mortgages
[208]
available that you can put down less
[210]
than 20
[211]
and still not pay any mortgage insurance
[213]
how accurate that is
[215]
i don't know i'm sure there's no more
[217]
insurance but
[218]
what is the trade-off that they're
[220]
getting in return
[222]
for providing this benefit i think it's
[224]
something probably a higher interest
[226]
rate and this might just be a matter of
[227]
branding
[228]
but if you do see a bank that's offering
[230]
it when you find a program
[232]
check it out see if it makes sense for
[233]
you fourth option
[236]
va loans so if you're a veteran and you
[238]
qualify for the va
[240]
loan great you have no pmi to worry
[242]
about they don't charge it
[243]
right plus your zero percent down
[245]
payment your cap closing costs i mean
[247]
there's a lot of good things about va
[249]
loans so if you qualify to use one
[251]
and you want to use one you know for
[252]
residents that you're getting this is a
[254]
great time especially if you're putting
[255]
down less than 20
[256]
because then you don't have to worry
[258]
about that extra monthly charge
[260]
that benefits the bank and not you
[264]
fifth way to avoid pmi with less than
[266]
twenty percent down
[268]
my personal favorite down payment
[270]
assistance programs
[272]
so there's a ton of programs out there
[274]
they can give you money in the form of
[275]
grants they can give you money to form
[277]
forgivable loans which
[278]
particularly functions like a grant as
[280]
well you follow guidelines
[281]
so there's different ways it can be done
[283]
but this money can help you get over
[285]
that 20 percent threshold
[287]
so you don't have to worry about broken
[289]
insurance in the long run
[290]
that's going to save you money if you
[292]
want to learn more about the different
[293]
down payment options and resources
[295]
available to you
[296]
programs that you can use right now
