Wayne is often asked how people are able to move up to larger, nicer homes. The answer to that is use your equity! If every few years a home owner moves, the equity from the sale can be applied to the new home - that's how people move up without drastically changing their monthy mortgage payment.
At that time a homeowner can also sometimes avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). MIP (Monthly Insurance Premium) is the amount that the lender requires to be paid if you do not hold 20% or more in equity. MIP is the monthly payment for PMI. This protects the lender should a person not make their payments and their home is foreclosed on.
Your monthly note actually protects the lender against a potential loss. If you can buy a home, sell it with positive equity, move up and pay over 20% down - you can avoid that monthly MIP payment.
