So I am coming up on 5 years since we re-financed in December and should be getting PMI off my monthly payments. Does anyone know if you have to do anything or does the mortgage company roll it off automatically?

I wouldn't rely on them to do it automatically. I would call and ask them what you need to do. Mortgage companies tend to require everything in writing.

I'm pretty certain that you have to call and ask them to remove it.

Generally

You can request removal at 80%
It will auto-terminate at 78%


Be prepared to potentially have to pay for a new/updated valuation



78/80% are based off LTVs, not years

With Wells Fargo, mine automatically came off at 78% and I didn't have to do anything.

Some people say you can "request" to have it taken off at 80% but I don't really understand that as you can also just request to have it taken off at 83% or 88% or whatever, they are still going to tell you no either way.

Are you also coming up on 78% LTV?

I hope you don't have wells fargo. they pulled some HUD statement out the weeds and said my PMI could not be removed until my loan reached 75% loan to value, on a conventional loan. I had a appraisal ordered through wells fargo and it came back 74% so frick them, it was removed.

call and ask, I bet no one will do it just because you have automatically reached the 5 year mark.

Well if you request it at 80% they won't say no, they'll make you pay for an appraisal and if that comes back at at least the 80% value then they will remove it.

But anything above 80% then yes, they will tell you to GFY then
