want to know about mortagage loan insurance. Any help?
Hi Rosaline
Welcome to the forums.

Mortgage Loan Insurance comes along with a high ratio mortgage, that is, which allows borrowers to acquire a mortgage greater than 75% of the purchase price or appraised property value, whichever is less.

The Mortgage Loan Insurance is provided by either Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation or GE Capital, a private insurer. It protects the lender in case the mortgage is not paid off and the bank reclaims the property.

Borrowers benefit from this insurance by paying less than 25% down payment on the purchased property. This insurance is directly added to the mortgage amount.

The Mortgage Loan Insurance premiums range from .5% to 3.75% and are evaluated with respect to the overall loan to value ratio. The amount of premium depends on the down payment and on the loan-to-value ratio.

We hope that this information will cater to your needs.

Please feel free to give us your feedback.

Regards,
Jessica.
