Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, is insurance that helps protect the lender if a borrower stops making payments on a conventional mortgage loan. PMI is typically required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s purchase price or original value.

When PMI is usually required

PMI is most commonly required on a conventional mortgage when you put less than 20% down. It increases the cost of the loan, but it may also help you qualify for a mortgage sooner if you do not have a larger down payment.

When PMI may be removed

In many cases, you can ask to remove PMI once your loan balance reaches 80% of the home’s original value and you meet the lender’s requirements. In general, PMI is automatically terminated when your loan balance is scheduled to reach 78% of the home’s original value, as long as your loan is current.

Need help?

If you have questions about PMI or your mortgage options, connect with a mortgage loan officer for personalized guidance.

Yes, many borrowers choose to refinance their ARM to a fixed-rate mortgage before the adjustable period begins to lock in a stable interest rate and predictable monthly payments.

 

Refinance

Consider your financial situation, how long you plan to stay in the home, and your risk tolerance for potential interest rate changes. ARMs can be a good choice if you plan to sell or refinance before the adjustable period begins or expect interest rates to remain stable or decline.
Some ARMs may have prepayment penalties, but People Driven Credit Union does not. You can refinance or pay off your Adjustable Rate Mortgage with PDCU early without any prepayment penalties.
Yes, ARMs often have caps that limit how much the interest rate can increase at each adjustment period and over the life of the loan. These caps provide some protection against large payment increases.
ARM interest rates adjust based on a specific index (such as the Treasury index) plus a margin set by the lender. When the index rate changes, the interest rate on your loan adjusts accordingly.
The main risk with an ARM loan is that your monthly payments can increase if interest rates rise. Understanding the potential for payment changes is important to ensure that you can afford higher payments if the rate adjusts upward.
ARMs typically offer lower initial interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgages, which can lead to lower initial monthly payments. This can be beneficial if you plan to sell or refinance before the adjustable period begins.
The initial period is when the interest rate on an ARM is fixed. After this period, the rate adjusts at regular intervals. For example, a 7/1 ARM has a fixed rate for the first seven years and then adjusts once every 12 months.
ARMs are often described with two numbers, such as 5/5, 7/1, or 10/1. The first number indicates the initial fixed-rate period (in years), and the second number indicates how often the rate will adjust after the initial period (in years).
Unlike a fixed-rate mortgage, where the interest rate remains constant throughout the loan term, an Adjustable Rate Mortgage has an interest rate that adjusts periodically. This means your monthly payments can increase or decrease over time based on changes in the interest rate.

An NMLS ID is a unique identification number assigned to mortgage loan originators and mortgage lending institutions through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry. It helps identify the person or company handling your mortgage and supports transparency in the mortgage process.

Why it matters

An NMLS ID allows consumers to verify the identity and licensing information of a mortgage professional or lender. It can also help you confirm who you are working with when you review mortgage advertisements, emails, disclosures, and loan documents.

Where you may see it

You may see an NMLS ID on mortgage websites, marketing materials, email signatures, loan paperwork, and other mortgage-related communications. If you want to look up a mortgage professional or lender, you can search the NMLS Consumer Access website.

Need help?

If you have questions about an NMLS ID or want help identifying the mortgage professional working with you, call 844-700-7328 during business hours.

When you apply for a mortgage with People Driven Credit Union, you will generally need documents that help verify your identity, income, assets, employment, and insurance information. Having these items ready can help move your application along more smoothly.

Documents you may need for a PDCU mortgage application

  • Copy of your driver’s license or state-issued ID, to verify your identity and legal name
  • Last 2 years of W-2 forms, to review your employment history and income consistency
  • Most recent 30 days of pay stubs, to confirm your current income
  • Last 2 years of federal tax returns, including all schedules, to help review your full financial picture
  • Most recent 2 months of bank statements, including all pages, to verify assets, down payment funds, and available reserves
  • Contact information for your homeowner’s insurance agent, if applicable, to help prepare for closing and insurance requirements

Why these documents matter

These documents help People Driven Credit Union review your mortgage application and determine whether you meet program and underwriting requirements. Depending on your loan type or financial situation, additional documentation may also be requested.

Helpful tips

  • Gather your documents before you start the application
  • Make sure bank statements include every page
  • Use clear scans or photos if you are uploading documents
  • Be ready to provide additional information if requested

If you have questions about what to prepare or want help getting started, connect with a mortgage loan officer for additional guidance.

To check the status of your loan application, contact People Driven Credit Union at 248-263-4100 during business hours or reach out to your assigned loan specialist if you have their contact information. Be ready to verify your identity and share details such as your name, member number, or application number so we can review your application with you.
