Are there any restrictions on how much a lender can charge for PMI on a conventional loan by law?
PMI charges vary depending on the size of the down payment and the loan. This generally equates to about one-half of one percent of the loan amount. The company issuing the PMI will determine the cost, based on any applicable insurance laws and the market. The Mortgage Guarantee Investment Corp. is the nation's largest mortgage insurer, and they lowered their rate earlier this year. As to a limit that may be charged, refer to your state insurance agency for lack of another resource.
