Expert Solution
Step 1

A loan's PMI or Private mortgage insurance is a kind of mortgage insurance that is used by lenders when they provide conventional loans like home loans. A PMI helps to cover the lender's (bank) loss, if the borrower stops paying the monthly mortgage payments on his home loan. Hence, PMI can be described as a kind of risk-mitigating tool for the bank if the borrower defaults on his EMIs (monthly mortgage payments). Thus, for the borrower the PMI on a loan is an additional cost or, payment alongside his monthly payments i.e. EMI.
