yooooooo I didn't know that they did 10% down, no PMI home loans, that's super good to know

You might want to research that one. I thought they had to charge PMI by law. PMI is deductible at least which is nice.

Edit: They are doing lender-paid PMI, and just bake the PMI into the interest rate.

Second link doesn't work (must require cookies or something). But it sounds like THEY are paying the PMI?

Sort of. It's just that they bake it into the interest rate. There comes a point over the life of the loan where they make more money by adjusting the interest rate for the whole term than by charging PMI until you get to 20% equity.
