Some credit unions will not charge you PMI

Yes, work with a mortgage broker. You can do a 80-10-10 or other creative financing where you take out a primary mortgage and a HELOC and avoid the PMI. Interest rate on the HELOC will be higher than on the primary, which will be the drawback.

I think I’ve got like 70-15-15 so yes they definitely are

Some lenders will "pay" your MI for you but it's really just built into your payment (higher rate). We are private wealth clients at US Bank. A large lender like them will also have portfolio programs that allow you to put 10-15% down with no MI.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)
