6 Reasons to order an appraisal from Appraisal Solutions LLCTo many, an appraisal just looks like a line item on the settlement sheet for a mortgage or refinance. Even though there are an increasing number of automated home valuation methods that might seem more practical than an appraisal, most lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are incredibly high. Is getting a mortgage the only basis for getting an appraisal? Are there additional cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional might be helpful? Of course there are.

PMI removal to lower your mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the homebuyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the home, most lenders ask home owners to buy this supplemental insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This extra payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is quickly forgotten. PMI is no longer required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% level, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress that requires lenders to eliminate the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to eliminate PMI, Appraisal Solutions LLC can produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can generally be recovered in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
