Can I find a lender to give me a loan refi at 87% without PIM?
You can get Lender Paid Mortgage insurance, your rate would be slightly higher than the "par" rate. I wouldn't really recommend it because you will be paying that higher rate for the duration of the loan. If you take the loan with the monthly mortgage insurance, the PMI will eventually...
