[QUOTE=elysiantraveller;2247370]Conventional only.
Once LTV hits 80% mortgage insurance can be removed via request. By law it falls off at 78%.
FHA (3.5% down) and USDA RD (0.0% down) it stays on the life of the loan or until you refinance into conventional. MI rat. es are fixed though at .85% and .35% respectivelyAlso have up front mortgage insurance premium which is wrapped into the loan at 1.75% and 1% again respectively.[/QUOTE]
