Mortgage Insurance (also known as mortgage guarantee and home-loan insurance) is an insurance policy which compensates lenders or investors for losses due to the default of a mortgage loan. Mortgage insurance can be either public or private depending upon the insurer. The policy is also known as a mortgage indemnity guarantee (MIG), particularly in the UK.
In Australia, borrowers must pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) for home loans over 80% of the purchase price.
In Singapore, it is mandatory for owners of HDB flats to have a mortgage insurance if they are using the balance in their Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts to pay for the monthly instalment on their mortgage. However, they have the choice of selecting a mortgage insurance administered by the CPF Board or stipulated private insurers.
On the other hand, it is not mandatory for owners of private homes in Singapore to take a mortgage insurance.
Private mortgage insurance is typically required when down payments are below 20%. Rates can range from 0.32% to 1.20% of the principal of the loan per year based upon loan factors such as the percent of the loan insured, loan-to-value (LTV), fixed or variable, and credit score. The rates may be paid in a single lump sum, annually, monthly, or in some combination of the two (split premiums). In the U.S., payments by the borrower were tax-deductible until 2010.

What is the difference between mortgage insurance and individual life insurance? Mortgage life is owned by the bank. It is put into place by the bank and is there to protect the banks balance sheet rather than your family. Each and every time you move or refinance your mortgage you must re-qualify medically for coverage and if you have had a change in health and now you don't qualify, you are left without coverage. With individual life you own the policy and it follows you... not your mortgage. With mortgage life if you do pass away, all the money goes directly to the bank not to your beneficiaries or loved ones as is the case with individual life. With mortgage insurance the bank will get only the amount outstanding on the mortgage itself, whereas with individual life insura...
Few aspects of financing a home confuse people more than the concept of PMI, which stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. It is insurance a mortgage company requires the borrower to purchase whenever there is less than a 20% down payment. Since a lower down payment could represent a higher risk of default, the borrower pays for this insurance to protect the mortgage company in case the borrower defaults by not paying the loan back. PMI is included in your monthly mortgage payment, however there are programs that allow the borrower to pay it up front or finance it instead. The actual amount you pay will vary based on your total loan amount and the percentage of your down payment. The higher your down payment between 0-20%, the lower your PMI rate will be. You can avoid PMI by putting 20% ...

HomeOpeners®: Mortgage Insurance 101 A conventional mortgage in Canada normally requires a down payment of at least 20% of the purchase price. When homebuyers have less than 20% for a down payment, Mortgage Insurance allows them to secure a mortgage for their home purchase. Tailored Mortgage Insurance products from Genworth Canada can help you achieve the dream of homeownership sooner and with as little as 5% down. Saving for a down payment is always a great idea.

In this 40 second video, Anthony Webb explains Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Produced by Cariad Creative – www.cariadcreative.com
video transcript There are two types of mortgage insurance that you should know about. There is mortgage insurance that protects the lender (the bank), and there is mortgage insurance that protects the borrower (the homebuyer). In Canada, mortgage insurance that protects the bank is offered by the CMHC, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The CMHC allows buyers to purchase a home without having saved up a down-payment worth 25% of the cost of the house. If you are planning on purchasing a house, but do not have the 25% down payment, your lender will arrange everything with the CMHC. You won't have to deal with the CMHC yourself. However, it is wise to check out their website because they have valuable information on many aspects of housing. In America, the function of the CMH...
