One More Option: Refinancing. Homeowners may have another option to get rid of PMI: refinancing. If you think your home's value has appreciated, a new loan may account for less than 80% of the home's value, meaning you will not have to pay PMI.
When a borrower makes a down payment of less than 20 percent, the lender requires the borrower to buy private mortgage insurance, or PMI. This protects the lender from losing money if the borrower ends up in foreclosure. PMI also is required if a borrower refinances the mortgage with less than 20 percent equity.
