How long do I pay PMI on a $165,000 house with 10% down?
Until the balance reaches 78% of the original price, when PMI ends automatically: 9 years 8 months at 7.03%, about $10,766 in PMI in total. You can ask to cancel it earlier at 80%.
Is 7.03% the rate I will get?
Not necessarily. It is Freddie Mac's weekly average for borrowers with about 20% down and strong credit, not a quote. A lender's quote depends on credit, down payment, points and the lender.
