My loan is with Wells Fargo as well. They will not remove PMI unless you've made improvements to the property (even if an appraisal gets you to 20% equity). Based on the previous post not all improvements qualify.

I purchased my home in Uptown New Orleans in 2010 and it has significantly increased in value since then. Wells Fargo will not remove the PMI because I've made no improvements.

I guess I will just ask my PMI question in this thread. Conventional loan at 3.75% and I'm throwing away $87/month at PMI. I've got about $16,000 left of principal to pay off to get to 78% LTV.

This may be a dumb question, but could I take out a 2nd loan to immediately pay off the PMI? If so, can someone explain how to crunch the numbers to see about how much I could save, if any? TIA.
