PMI Time Frames

Normal time frame for the PMI approval varies. Rule of thumb is 24 to 48 hours. But with complications, mortgage insurance companies could take days and even weeks.

Mortgage Insurance Companies

Mortgage insurance companies insure lenders when home buyers want a low down payment mortgage or homeowners are refinancing with less than 20% equity. PMI companies are cautious due to their risk and can take their time granting PMI approval.

But for consumers buying a house or involved in mortgage refinancing, this is little consolation if time is running out.

Squeaky Wheels For Buying A House

Here is the reality. Squeaky wheels get the grease.

If you are caught waiting for PMI approval while your purchase and sale contract is about to expire, politely call your lender daily for status updates. Keep your real estate agent in the loop also.

Mortgage Refinancing Requires Grease

Any homeowner with less than 20% equity should take into consideration that mortgage insurance companies can slow down mortgage refinancing.

Monitoring your lock-in period when PMI approval drags on is a must. Ask your lender if you can extend the mortgage interest rate lock if necessary.

I have mentioned it already but will say it again. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep in touch daily with your mortgage lender.
