I want to get the PMI off my mortgage in February of next year, which will be two years from the time of my refinancing. All my payments have been on time. I have communicated with my current mortgage company that I wish to have the PMI canceled, and they informed me in writing that I have to wait for two years and that I have to get an appraisal, which I have to pay for, in order to make sure I will have 20 percent equity of the new appraised value.
