PMI is not a product that you purchase from an insurance agent like myself. It is an insurance policy that covers the bank if your mortgage is foreclosed on. Generally PMI is required by the bank if you are financing 80% or more of the value of the home. The insurance covers the bank but you are required to pay the premiums. After your mortgage balance falls below 80% of appraised value you can and should drop the coverage. The bank will not notify you of this so you have to tell them.
