The Quicker, Riskier Way: By Paying Down Your Loan and Crossing Your Fingers. If you pay down your mortgage to 80% of the home's original value, you can ask the lender to cancel your mortgage insurance. There is no guarantee the lender will say yes.

You have the right to request cancellation of PMI when you pay down your mortgage to the point that it equals 80 percent of the original purchase price or appraised value of your home at the time the loan was obtained, whichever is less. PMI will only be cancelled if you submit a written request for cancellation. You also need a good payment history, meaning that you have not been 30 days late with your mortgage payment within a year of your request, or 60 days late within two years of the request.
