Do you need this if you don't have a 20% down payment, but you gain 20% instant equity? Meaning if the house was appraised for more than you bought it for you and automatically "have" that equity required? Does that make any sense? :lol

TIA! :hi

I would think not, because if you buy a house with less than 20% down once you cover 20% of the value you could refinance and get rid of PMI so I'm really thinking you would not need PMI but I could be wrong.
There are other ways to avoid the PMI too. You could get an 80/20 mortgage.

You would have to refinance
