    If you don't put 20% don't or don't have 20% equity in your house you have to pay that as a "just in case you foreclose" situation.

    Depends on how bad you really want that extra room. If you really can't stand living in the apartment because there's not enough room, go for the trailer. If it's bearable, stay. Personally, though the trailer bit sounds like a good idea, I would stay in the apartment.

    Well here is an update. I am currently doing a little remodeling to the trailer. I'm glad I went this route, stay as much out of debt and be able to save some money! Thanks for all yall's opinions!

    Sixteen years ago when we bought our house - we only had like 5% to put down on our house. The loan was 135K and it was our first home. We had to pay $85 a month PMI insurance.

    Once you've paid off 20% mortgage to value - you can call the bank and have them remove the PMI insurance charge. The bank will never call you. You need to be aware of 'when' you reach that point.

    The fact you're loosing money every month does suck. However - getting into a house VS waiting and waiting and waiting to save up 20% is hard to do. We paid the PMI insurance for up to 5 years (can't remember). Our house was paid off in 15. I honestly can't complain about the PMI.
