Private Mortgage Insurance

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a crucial consideration for borrowers obtaining conventional mortgages, especially when the down payment falls below 20% of the home's purchase price. At GFS Home Loans, located at 272 SW 5th Avenue, Suite 300 in Meridian, ID 83642, we recognize the significance of PMI in safeguarding lenders against default risks. Typically, borrowers may be required to pay up to one year's worth of PMI premiums at closing, amounting to several hundred dollars. To mitigate this additional expense, clients can explore options such as making a 20% down payment or inquiring about alternative loan programs. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing tailored solutions and guiding clients toward informed decisions to optimize their mortgage experience and minimize unnecessary costs.
