Why you should order an appraisal from Appraisal Solutions of NevadaThousands of people in Nevada buy, sell or refinance their home each year. A lot of these transactions have a simple line item for an appraisal.

You might assume that obtaining a mortgage is the only basis for getting an appraisal, but there are other cases when the services of a certified, independent real estate professional could be helpful.

PMI removal to lower your mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the homebuyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate, many lenders ask home buyers to take out this supplemental insurance policy. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This extra payment is often bundled into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI is no longer required when the remainder of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was invoked by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to do away with PMI, Appraisal Solutions of Nevada will provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can usually be offset in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
