Avoid PMI Altogether

With this program, you can bypass private mortgage insurance even without a 20% down payment. This can amount to hundreds of dollars in monthly savings, and thousands of dollars in savings over the life of your loan.

Lower Upfront Cost

Compared to conventional loans, our program allows you to avoid PMI with as little as a 3% down payment, significantly reducing the upfront cost of buying a home. JVM Lending can issue a lender credit to help cover your closing costs, too, if needed.

Reduced Monthly Payments

This program does not engage in that practice, and truly has PMI completely waived by the without a higher rate.
