About Our PMI Removal Appraisals
A PMI removal appraisal is an independent opinion of a property's market value, prepared to support a homeowner's request to remove private mortgage insurance (PMI). Gold Rush Appraisal prepares these residential valuations for properties throughout the San Antonio, Texas metro area and the surrounding counties we serve. The appraisal documents the current value so the lender can evaluate whether the loan-to-value ratio supports PMI removal. The appraisal is one input into the process; it does not guarantee that PMI will be removed.
Understanding PMI Removal Appraisals
Private mortgage insurance is typically required when a homeowner's equity is below a certain threshold. When the homeowner believes the property's value has increased enough to meet the threshold, the lender may require an independent appraisal to document the current value. A PMI removal appraisal answers the question: what is this property worth on the open market as of a defined effective date? The appraiser develops that opinion independently. The appraisal documents the value; it does not determine whether PMI is removed; that decision rests with the lender.
When You May Need This Appraisal
A PMI removal appraisal may be needed when:
- You believe your property value has increased enough to remove PMI
- Your lender requires a current appraisal to evaluate PMI removal
- You need a documented value to support a PMI removal request
What the Appraiser Evaluates
The appraiser considers location, lot size, building size and layout, condition, age, quality of construction, renovations, and comparable sales. The appraiser develops the value independently and does not determine whether PMI is removed.
How the Process Works
Every assignment is a little different, but a PMI removal appraisal generally follows these steps:
- 1We confirm the intended use, intended users, effective date, and scope with you.
- 2We schedule and complete an inspection of the property.
- 3We research comparable sales and market data.
- 4We analyze the data and develop a supported opinion of value.
- 5We deliver a written report documenting the methodology and evidence.
Service-Specific Considerations
Whether PMI is removed is a decision made by the lender based on the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements. We do not guarantee that PMI will be removed. Confirm your lender's PMI removal requirements before ordering.
