Allstate Property Appraisal Services can help you do away with PMI to lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate, almost all lenders ask homebuyers to purchase an extra insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This added payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI isn't required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) that requires lenders to remove the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met.

If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Allstate Property Appraisal Services will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The price you paid for the home valuation can usually be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
