Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) or Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) - How it works For those of you purchasing a home with either an Insured Conventional or FHA loan, you're going to be paying a premium for mortgage insurance. Why? Because the lenders want protection in case you default on your shiny new loan. I just learned today that PMI on an Insured Conventional loan doesn't exactly work as advertised. As a result, I wanted to pass on this information to you. How can you avoid having to pay PMI or an MIP? Put 20% down on the property, then you won't (1 comments)
My plan is to provide neighborhood profiles for some of the more popular neighborhoods/communities in and around the Indianapolis area. In addition, information regarding the current market conditions in and around Indianapolis and any other news or information of interest.
