Re: Is there PMI on co-ops?

I dont' know what PMI is and I have a co-op - so I'm guessing no, but I dont' know for sure

yes, there is. I was just speaking about this with my friend yesterday who lives in a co-op

I guess we put down 20% then so we didnt' have to worry about it.
Who knew?

My co-op requires a minimum of 20% down, so I guess it depends.

we have a townhouse and put 20% down, so, no we don't pay PMI.

That's what I thought . I knew it was too good to be true...

Thanks!



You don't need to do PMI, just take out a second mortgage at a higher rate to cover the rest of your down payment. That's what I did on my condo- I am paying a small amount each month- much less than the PMI would have been. FM if you need more info.

i think it is called a piggy back loan.
that is how we are going to avoid the pmi on a house.

You pay PMI on any mortgage that has a LTV of more than 80% (whether its co-op, condo, house, townhouse, etc.).

Get a piggyback loan to avoid PMI.
