My broker is saying I can remove PMI within a few months of buying my house without an appraisal. I’m having doubts. Can someone tell me what they know?

I’m buying a house for 500000 with 25k down. Then going to turn around and sell my current place. I will have more than enough to meet the 20% LTV with the proceeds from my current house. I’m in Washington state. I’m not sure who my servicer is and I assume it would get sold but who knows.

The broker stated confidently that I can recast my mortgage as soon as my current house sells and have the PMI removed without another appraisal. But I’m reading so many conflicting reddit threads about this and not getting a straight answer with my research.

Does anyone know how this work? I went with a convention in lieu of a bridge loan because I figured recast would be more financially reasonable.

She wrote to me this in an email

“I have verified that the recast is something that is allowed by AGENCY – IE: Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae and so you would have option to recast even in the unlikely event that the loan was sold again prior to your home selling.

The MI would fall off at that time and there would not be an appraisal required if requesting recast based on the original purchase price/loan amount”

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
