Let Jim Mankin help you eliminate PMI to lower your mortgage payment
When the amount being loaned to the homeowner is more than 80% of the actual value of the home, many lenders ask home owners to take out an extra insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. Most often, this extra payment is folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is soon forgotten. PMI isn't required when the remaining balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - goes below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable. In fact, the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) of 1998 was approved by the United States Congress requiring lenders to dismiss the PMI installments when the balance is paid down to 78% of the original value.If you'd like to get rid of PMI, Jim Mankin can provide you with a statement regarding the value of your home. The cost of the home valuation can often be regained in just a few months because you'll no longer be paying the PMI.

Settling an estate with peace of mind
Losing a loved one is a hard time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often entails an appraisal to establish Market Value for the real estate involved. We guarantee the utmost degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these issues. A home or other property often makes up a disproportionate share of the total estate value, so understanding the true value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received an honest deal.
