Private Mortgage Insurance FAQ's

  • What is PMI?
    PMI is extra insurance that lenders require borrowers to pay if the borrower put less than 20% of the home’s value in a down payment. This protects the lender against loss in the unlikely event that the borrower defaults on their mortgage loan.

  •  When will my PMI be automatically terminated?
    PMI will automatically terminate on the date that the principal balance of your loan is scheduled to reach 78% of the original value of the property.

  • When can I request PMI to be cancelled?
    You can request the cancellation of your PMI once your loan reaches 80% of the original value of the property

  • Can I get a new property appraisal in order to drop PMI?
    Yes, you may request a new appraisal using one of our approved appraisers. There will be a fee to cover the appraisal paid for by the borrower. Please contact the Loan Servicing Department at 410-668-4400 x102 or email loanservicing@rosedalefederal.com for more instructions.

  • What happens once PMI is removed?
    We will notify you in writing that PMI coverage has been removed along with your new monthly payment amount.
