Main Points:
LPMI is the better loan for the short-term. It gives you a lower payment overall. If you plan to sell or refinance in the first 10 years it may be a great option for you.
If you plan to make extra payments on your loan or stay in the home for 30 years than MMI may be the better option because once the MI drops off you’ll save an additional $88.67 a month.
If you were to just make normal payments the MI can come off after about 10 years.

Like almost all loans, the answer on what is best for you depends on your best guess for the future. Talk with me and we can strategize together!
