How can I get PMI removed from my mortgage?

To remove Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) from your mortgage, you typically need to reach a loan-to-value ratio of 80 or lower. This can be achieved by making extra payments towards your mortgage principal, increasing your home's value through renovations, or waiting for your home's value to appreciate. Once you believe you have reached the 80 threshold, contact your lender to request a PMI removal.
