Start with your servicer.
Your servicer decides whether PMI comes off, and it may need to order the appraisal itself. Ask these first.
Ask your servicer
- To ask: Can I order my own appraisal?
- To ask: Original value or current value?
- Each follows different rules
- To ask: What LTV do you require?
- Often 75% to 80%
- To ask: How long must I have had the loan?
- Called seasoning
- To ask: Does my payment history qualify?
Keep the servicer’s written answer with your request.
