I am starting my own business and need start up cash. I bought my home last year for 209000, but it was way undervalued. Several smaller homes in my neighoorhood have sold for about 230000. The principal remaining on my loan is 205000. If I take out a home equity loan for 40K and can get my house appraised for 250K while reducing my principal to 200K I can eliminate PMI and roll that money (and then some) into the payment for my home equity loan. Will my mortgage company accept the home equity loans company's appraisal (it should be done by an outside company). Also, the reason I layed out so much information is because I am also fishing for any advice I can get on this situation. Thanks for any input at all!
Can my apprasial for a Home Equity loan also be used to get PMI off of my mortage?Not to contradict one of the other answers here, but PMI is applied when the first mortgage is over 80% loan to value (not 70%). In simple terms, if your home is worth $100,000 and your first mortgage is $80,000 or less, you should have no PMI.
To have the PMI removed, there are some options. First, you should call the mortgage company and ask them whether or not they require a full appraisal (some companies only require a BPI - Broker's Price Opinion, which should cost less than $100). If they do, ask them for a list of the approved appraisers in your area. You should then be able to go to your local lender for the HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) and ask that lender to use one of the appraisers on the list.
