Episode 50 — Mythbuster Monday: PMI Is Not Inevitable — Here's How to Get Around It

from HomeBuying Made Easy · host Michael Dendy

Private mortgage insurance exists for one reason — to protect the lender, not you. And yet somehow buyers just accept it as a fact of life, like a toll you pay because the road is there. It is not inevitable. Michael busts the myth that PMI is unavoidable and walks through the legitimate ways to get around it, eliminate it early, or structure your loan so it never shows up in the first place. One of them you've probably never heard of. One of them your lender might not bring up on their own. And one of them is sitting right there in your VA benefit if you earned it — completely PMI-free, forever, by law.🎙️ New episodes every Monday & Friday.📲 Follow us on Instagram for more mortgage myths and home buying tips.📞 Call or Text: 615-499-6335📧 [email protected]🌐 MichaelDendy.com
