It doesn't protect him at all. It protects the lender. If an FHA borrower defaultsWhat are the chances the PMI protects him completely? Meaning: PMI covers the deficiency and then the insurer doesn't try and recover any of the money from the manlet making $100k+ a year who willfully stopped payments?
- the lender goes after the deficiency and gives the judgement to the insurer,
- the insurer pays the lender the remaining balance of the loan, and
- the insurer goes after DSP for the judgement amount
DSP owes the money, the insurance is just there to make lenders more receptive to issuing loans to people with no/little/bad credit or limited means for a down payment.
