Not only will you have to purchase mortgage insurance (PMI), but your rate will most likely be higher also. Therefore, your payment will jump significantly when you go from 80LTV to 81 LTV

Eric is correct. Your payment will be higher due to PMI and higher interest.

sidney, private mortgage insurance has nothing to do with mortgage life insurance. if there was mortgage life insurance on the debt, then a claim would need to be filed with that insurance company in order for the loan to be paid in full.

as for foreclosure, if there was a default on the loan, then presumably the life insurance benefit, if any, may have been defaulted on as well. typically, that's paid for along with the loan payment, so if payments cease on the loan, the insurance company will cancel its policy.

i think you've got some homework to do, frankly. perhaps the lender can assist you, though they're probably not all that helpful once a loan has gone into default.

I personally feel that rolling over 20% as down payment is a better option. If you go for pmi, you will have to pay extra money towards it!

If you can afford to put 20 per cent down on a home, that's always a better idea. It provides equity right away, which is protective in an environment that we've started to become accustomed to, where values drop and seem never to cease doing so.
