Private Mortgage Insurance.

Insurance that is required when your loan exceeds 80% of your homes current value. You will be paying this premium on a monthly basis as your an added risk to the lender with limited equity. I hope this helps...

I is extra insurance that lenders require from most homebuyers who obtain loans that are more than 80 percent of their new home's value. In other words, buyers with less than a 20 percent down payment are normally required to pay PMI.
