|

| If I purchase a house for $105,000 and it is appraised for $138,000, that gives me a $33,000 equity in the property at purchase. 20% of the purchase price is $21,000 and 20% of the appraised value is $27,600. If I do not put any money down and receive a VHDA loan for $105,000, would I have to pay PMI since I'll have $33,000 in equity at the time of purchase? In case it matters, I live in Virginia. The property is a townhouse as well. |

This would be up to the mortgage company. Typcially PMI can be removed if your loan balance is 80% or less than the appraised value.
