Reply to comment by weiner_forest in Lender is asking 75% LTV to remove PMI? by Oskeros

This is from nerdwallet:

> Here’s a caveat: To cancel based on current value, you must have owned the home for at least two years and have 75% LTV. If you've owned the home for at least five years, you can cancel at 80% LTV.

This is not true, we cancelled PMI within 2 years by getting an appraisal done.

It was also solely due to market value increase, not improvements.

It depends on the lender and what is in the loan documentation.
