Recovering from a stroke can happen quickly or can take a long time. How soon someone gets better depends on how bad the stroke was and how healthy the person was before the stroke. People who have had a stroke may need medicine or surgery. Later, they may need rehabilitation (say: ree-huh-bih-luh-TAY-shun).
Also known as Primary Mortgage Insurance, PMI is the lenders (banks) protection in the event that you default on your primary mortgage and no longer make payments and the home ends up going into foreclosure.
Most lenders require PMI when a homebuyer makes a down payment of less than 20% of the home's purchase price â or, in mortgage-speak, the mortgage's loan to value (LTV) ratio is in excess of 80% (the higher the LTV ratio, the higher the risk profile of the mortgage).
