Let Colorado Realty Reports help you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an added insurance plan that nearly all lenders ask homeowners to buy when the amount being loaned to the homebuyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home. More often than not, this extra payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% mark, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress requiring lenders to eliminate the PMI installments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.

Colorado Realty Reports can give you a statement regarding the value of your home, and the price you paid for the home valuation can generally be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
