Anyone have experience eliminating PMI based on appreciation rather than payoff?

Don't you just need an appraisal? If it comes in at 20%, you're good.

Not true with FHA, especially under (not so) new rules.

Missed the FHA part. Back to the CB pros on this...

Just noticed you have an FHA loan....I don't think you can eliminate PMI at 20%

Depends on when he took out the loan.

Unless it's changed, you can't do that with an FHA loan. They value on the

That 5 years and 78% is outdated, it's almost impossible without refinancing

True, unless original down payment was over 10%.

But you can refinance to a conventional loan, right?

Yep, that's the only way on an FHA loan taken out after June 2013.

Was the loan a 30 yrs loan, 10% down or less, and opened after June 2013?

Yes, we bought our house in CA with 5% down

That's what we're saying. You didn't eliminate PMI on the loan, you refinanced
