Why you should order an appraisal from Young Appraisal Company, Inc.To many, an appraisal just looks like another fee on the settlement sheet for a home purchase or refinance.

Eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is a supplemental insurance policy that almost all lenders ask homeowners to purchase when the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This added payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. This is damaging because PMI isn't required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI installments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. Young Appraisal Company, Inc. can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home, and the expense of the appraisal can often be recovered in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
