Regarding PMI for FHA Loan's & Arizona

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to get rid of PMI (private mortage insurance) Just to give you the details. I purchased the home for 94,000 with a FHA loan putting a 3.5 percent down payment of $4000.00. That made the loan amount 91,000. It's been 4 years and some months that I have purchased the property with my current balance owing balance is 79,350.00. So with those details could I possibly get rid of the PMI? Any help is appreciated!

Sincerely,

David

    @David Alvarez PMI lasts for the entire duration of the FHA loan I believe

    @Kyle Scofield I think you're right. So there's no way to get rid of it? Maybe refinance it would. Or maybe it wouldn't be worth it.

    @David Alvarez Yeah, I'm not too experienced with this so not sure how much help I could be. As far as refinancing, that would just depend on the terms you could get.

    Since you bought it 4 years ago, I think you actually might be able to get rid of PMI if you purchased before 2013 by meeting the following requirements: 78% LTV and 60 months of on-time payment. (This is just what I gathered from reading articles online).. It would be best to consult with a bank rep though.
