What is an PMI?

PMI stands for Private mortgage insurance. PMI protects the mortgage lender or investor against loss if a borrower stops making payments and typically costs the borrower between $25 to $100 a month added to the mortgage payment. PMI is added to loans where the LTV (Loan to Value) ratio is higher then 80%.
