Frequently Asked Questions about Mortgages
Everything you need to know about PITI amortization and early payoff strategies.
What is PITI in a mortgage calculation? ↓
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. It represents the comprehensive total monthly housing cost paid by a homeowner.
When is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) removed from a loan? ↓
Under the Homeowners Protection Act, PMI is automatically cancelled when your loan balance reaches 78% of the original home purchase value, or you can request cancellation once you reach 80% Loan-to-Value (LTV).
How do extra monthly principal payments accelerate loan payoff? ↓
Every extra dollar paid toward principal immediately reduces the remaining loan balance, meaning subsequent monthly interest charges are smaller. This creates a compounding effect that shaves years off the loan term and saves tens of thousands in interest.
