Why you should order an appraisal from Bullinger Appraisals, LLCTo a lot of people, an appraisal just looks like another cost in the long list of items for a home purchase or refinance.

Eliminating PMI for mortgage paymentsPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance plan that many lenders ask home owners to buy when the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. Oftentimes, this additional payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% mark, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress requiring lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Bullinger Appraisals, LLC will give you a statement regarding the value of your home. The expense of the home valuation can generally be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
