Let Acupraise attend to your appraisal needsTo a lot of people, an appraisal just looks like another cost in the long list of items for a mortgage or refinance. The majority of lenders still call for a local expert because the stakes are very high, even though there are a multiplying number of automated home valuation processes that may seem more economical than an appraisal. You might think that securing a mortgage is the only reason you should get an appraisal, but there are other times when the services of a licensed, independent real estate professional could be beneficial.

PMI removal to lower a mortgage paymentPrivate Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, is an additional insurance plan that almost all lenders ask homebuyers to buy when the amount being loaned to the home buyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the real estate. This added payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon 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 United States Congress implemented a law in 1998 (the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998) requiring lenders to do away with the PMI payments when the loan-to-value ratio conditions have been met. Acupraise can give you a statement regarding the value of your home, and the cost of the home valuation can usually be offset in little time because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.
