Many of these transactions involve a simple line item for an appraisal.

Remove PMI to lower your mortgage paymentWhen the amount being loaned to the homebuyeris more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate, most lenders ask homeowners to purchase this additional insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Since the additional payment is usually lumped into the monthly mortgage payment, it is often forgotten. PMI isn't required when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - decreases below the 80% mark, making this very unfortunate. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was passed by the United States Congress requiring lenders to remove the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. If you'd like to do away with PMI, Ru Appraisals, LLC will produce a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can generally be recovered in a short amount of time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

We ensure the fullest degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Unlike wealthy individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these affairs.
