Move UP No PMI

A house sitting on top of stacks of gold coins.

Your house may be sitting on a gold mine! Well, not an actual gold mine, but there may be gold in the walls! It's called “equity”. It's like an invisible piggy bank waiting to be cracked open like a pinata at a kid's birthday party. All joking aside, your house really is sitting on a gold mine. The problem is you've been throwing gold bars out the window every month. It's an ugly little thing called PMI (private mortgage insurance). Yuck! Just like that fruit cake that's been re-gifted every year since 1997. Combine the gold bars you've been throwing out the window every month with the invisible piggy bank and voila, you have a nice down payment for a better house. Here's the cool part about doing this: Better house without increasing payment Drop the PMI and keep the gold bars Get a bigger piggy bank that grows faster This is how the rich keeps getting richer. Staying in your old house too long actually causes you to lose money. Your equity is just sitting there like a fat cat getting fatter when it could be making you more cats. Stop throwing gold bricks out the window and feeding your fat cat. I have helped lots of people use their equity to buy a nicer home, saving money in the process while building wealth faster.
